How to Fix Loose Trousers | Super Alterations London

Have a pair of trousers you love, but they feel too loose? Whether it’s the waist, the legs, or the length, fixing it might be easier (and cheaper) than you think.

In this post, we’ll show you the best ways to fix loose trousers — and when it’s a good idea to bring them to a tailor.

1. Identify where it’s too loose

Try them on and check:

• Loose at the waist?
• Too wide on the legs?
• Extra length at the bottom?

2. DIY adjustments you can try at home

• Waist: use internal elastic or hand-sewn darts
• Legs: take in the sides with a basic sewing machine
• Hem: use iron-on hem tape for a temporary solution

3. When to go to a professional tailor

Some fabrics and styles are better handled by a professional, especially if the trousers are:

• Made of delicate or expensive material
• Dress trousers or formal wear
• Used frequently (e.g., work uniforms)
