Slender usually describes a person's body as thin in a , attractive way — it's a gentler, more word than just saying 'thin' or 'skinny.' It can also describe thin objects in general, like a slender vase or a slender tree branch. And it's used for small amounts or narrow chances — a 'slender chance of winning' means the odds are very thin, barely enough to count on.
