Is there any difference between rumpled and unkempt?
Unkempt means untidy and not caring about yourself. It is an adjective meaning shabby and sloppy (used often to describe a persons appearance)
Rumpled is the past tense of the verb rumple
It means to crumple or crush (such as a sheet of paper can be rumpled)
It can also be used meaning to ruffle or tousle someones hair.
"Rumpled" applies more to things, and "unkempt" to persons.
