Morphology
real + swaggie
The modifier 'real' is transparently an intensifier, so its contribution is clear, but the head 'swaggie' is informal/slang and lacks a standard dictionary entry; its link to 'swag'/'swagger' (stylish confidence) is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner. Because part of the meaning depends on recognizing a slang root rather than straightforward compositional morphology, the phrase is partially but not fully transparent.
Etymology
The phrase real swaggie likely comes from the word swagger and the short form swag, which paint the picture of someone walking proudly with a swinging step and flashy clothes. So, real swaggie means 'a confident and stylish look' because of that proud walk and bold dress.
