This term often carries a negative or critical connotation when describing a person's physique, suggesting a lack of muscle or a frail appearance. It differs from slim or slender, which are typically viewed as complimentary or aesthetically pleasing descriptions of thinness.
In the context of fashion, the word shifts to a neutral or descriptive technical term. It refers specifically to a garment's cut that contours closely to the limb, regardless of the wearer's actual body size.
