(reference) http://zokugo-dict.com/17ti/charai.htm
「チャラいとは言動が軽い様を表す俗語『ちゃらちゃら』を略し、形容詞化する接尾語『い』をつけたもので、言動が軽く浮ついている様や服装が派手で安っぽい様を表す。 チャラいは1980年代に使われ始めた言葉で、徐々に使用度が減っていたが、近年、同様の意味で再び若者に使われるようになっている。」

「若者語で，ちゃらちゃらした様子のこと。媚(こび)を振りまくさま，安手で派手な服装をしているさま，浮ついた振る舞いをするさまなど。」
(comment) It's clearly related to the even more popular term 「チャラ」, as in the very common phrases 「チャラ男」 and 「チャラ女」.
