Natty
Natty means naturally fit, lean, or attractive, with no obvious fake look or heavy help showing.
People use natty to praise a body, build, or overall look that seems clean, athletic, and unforced. In gym talk it can also mean someone is likely natural, as in not looking obviously enhanced, so the word carries a little status and a little side-eye depending on who is saying it.

What People Mean When They Say Natty
Natty is basically a look-read. It points to someone who appears naturally put together: fit, lean, sharp, and not overdone.
In fitness spaces, natty can also hint that a person looks like they built their physique without steroids or other performance enhancers. That second meaning is where the word gets some extra edge and debate.
How Natty Shows Up Online
You will see natty in gym comments, thirst posts, and casual praise about someone's build or face card. It works best when the look feels effortless, like the person is naturally in shape instead of trying to flex hard.
Outside fitness talk, people use it more loosely for someone who just has a clean, attractive vibe. The word lands as a compliment, but it sounds especially natural in spaces where people already talk about physiques and aesthetics.
