slender build
Lean body type
A slender build is a thin, lean body type—narrow through the shoulders, waist, and hips without much bulk.
The phrase appears in physical descriptions, especially police reports and missing persons alerts: The suspect is described as a white male with a slender build.
It suggests natural thinness rather than athletic conditioning.
