How to Say ‘Hmm, do you have something a bit looser?’ in Japanese

うーん、もう少しゆったりしたのはありますか。

uun mou sukoshi yuttari shi ta no wa ari masu ka

[OON MOH skoo-shee yoot-TAH-ree shee tah noh wah ah-ree mahs kah]

💬 Usage Tip: The の after ゆったりした stands in for "one," so this means "a looser one." That saves you from repeating ジーンズ: 赤いのはありますか "Do you have a red one?"
