Morphology

with + flair + and + panache

The meaning 'with an impressive combination of style, originality, and confidence' is directly and compositionally built from 'with' (accompanied by) plus the nouns 'flair' (stylish talent) and 'panache' (confident showiness). The coordinated structure is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would be able to infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

The phrase with flair and panache joins two strong images: flair means a natural, quick talent, and panache was once a bright feather on a soldier's hat that showed bold style. So, saying someone did something with flair and panache paints a picture of confident, showy skill, which is why it means 'with stylish confidence'.
