tarty
Sharp in taste
Tarty describes someone, usually a woman, dressed or behaving in a way considered sexually provocative or cheap: She thought the outfit looked a bit tarty.
The word carries judgment about taste and propriety—short skirts, heavy makeup, revealing clothes.
British usage is more common than American.
From tart, slang for a promiscuous woman or prostitute.
