Truly God does not like any swaggering braggart, strutting in his step, [boasting] in front of people.

English – Tafsir ibn kathir

And turn not your face away from men with pride, means, `do not turn your face away from people when you speak to them or they speak to you, looking down on them in an arrogant fashion.

Rather be gentle towards them and greet them with a cheerful face,’ as it says in the Hadith:

Even if it is only by greeting your brother with a cheerful countenance.

And beware of letting your lower garment trail below your ankles, for this is a kind of boasting, and Allah does not like boasting.

Nor walk in insolence through the earth. means, `do not be boastful, arrogant, proud and stubborn. Do not do that, for Allah will hate you.’

So he said: Verily, Allah likes not any arrogant boaster. Meaning, one who shows off and admires himself, feeling that he is better than others.
