stylishly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in a chic manner' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'slyly hits out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'slyly'+'hits'='slylyhits'
'slylyhits' anagrammed gives 'STYLISHLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
