What is another word for swagger..but formal.?
Okay, I'm completely revising my answer considering your new info. The stuff I wrote before, I'm shuffling to the bottom; here's my new reply: I think swagger is not only acceptable for a formal essay, but also a good choice because it's a vivid word. Swagger on, good sir! :) As for my original answer: I don't know if this fits the bill, but a swaggering way of presenting oneself reminds me of the word bombast, which refers to speech too pompous for an occasion; pretentious words (www.dictionary.com). With regard to pretentious speech, pomposity (or pompousness), pretension (or pretentiousness), bravado, bluster, grandiloquence, aloofness, haughtiness, and gasconade (which I've NEVER heard anyone say) may also work. If you're referring to a walk as opposed to a way of presenting oneself, bluster still works, as would saunter. Or, there's rakishness, which also refers to appearance. "Rakish" is basically a big word for stylish or jaunty. With rakish on the brain, dashing, dapper, debonair, and suave also come to mind.
