Simplified etymology

Natty, meaning “smart or stylish,” probably developed from neat and is recorded from 1785. The Rastafarian use of natty for uncombed or matted hair has a separate origin as a form of knotty and is recorded from at least the 1970s.

Originally slang, perhaps related to natural.
