Elegant but impudent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smart

This clue is a double definition.

'elegant' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'impudent' is the second definition.
(I know that impudent can be written as smart)

'but' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for smart that I've seen before include "Quick; tidy; sting" , "having chips in" , "Fashionable" , "Bright; sting" , "Rankle; trim" .)
