Informalite 

noun

Informalite refers to an individual who epitomizes the pinnacle of relaxation and informality. These carefree souls exude an aura of laid-back Chad-like charm and effortlessly don't care for the strict rules of "the man". An informalite is the embodiment of chillness, going with the flow and detaching themselves from the pressures and constraints of conventional society.
Person 1: "Dude, how does Jack always manage to stay so cool and carefree?"
Person 2: "Oh, that's just Jack being Jack. He's the ultimate informalite. He's never in a rush and takes life as it comes."

Person 1: "I wish I could be more like an informalite and not worry about all the small stuff."
Person 2: "Yeah, it's a true art form. Just relax, drink some gamer sups, and embrace your inner informalite."
