Hello everyone,
A. If a pair of trousers' waist doesn't fit around your waist, is it okay to say the following?
Eg a. My waist is loose.
Eg b. The waist of my trousers is loose.
B. Does it need to add "the...of the trousers", or is the first example sufficient to provide what I wanted?
Regards,
JA

This is how you do it: [They / My trousers] are too [loose / tight]. By default this means "at the waist". , They're too tight around the calves .

By default this means "at the waist". If you mean something else, elaborate, e.g., They're too tight around the calves.
