too loose
Not tight enough
Too loose describes something insufficiently tight or secure—a bolt that rattles, clothing that doesn't fit properly, or rules lacking necessary strictness.
The phrase often implies a problem needing correction: The knot was too loose and came undone.
It can describe behavior or standards that lack appropriate restraint: too loose with the truth, too loose with company funds.
