What does NATTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Smart, neat, and trim in dress or appearance, especially in a stylish, well-put-together way.
A natty dresser pays close attention to fit and finish, favouring crisp lines, matched colours, and small stylish touches such as a pocket square or a neatly knotted tie over a merely tidy appearance. The word carries an old-fashioned, slightly playful charm, evoking the dapper gentlemen of earlier decades more readily than contemporary streetwear. Writers use natty almost exclusively of clothing, accessories, or the people wearing them, rarely stretching it to describe anything unrelated to personal style. Its exact origin is uncertain, though many dictionaries link it to the older word neat, sharpened into a livelier, more admiring word for careful, stylish dress.
