The suit trousers should have a waist width that allows them to stay without you having to wear a belt to compensate. Otherwise, they are too wide at the waist. Waist width is one of the easiest and cheapest things to alter at a tailor.
One of the things that can be adjusted easily by a good tailor is the length and leg width of the trousers. It is worth noting that if you need to shorten the trousers by more than 5cm, the leg width usually needs to be taken into account to maintain the balance of the trouser fit. It is also easy to add extra length to the leg opening if there is enough fabric for this.
The trouser legs should be wide enough so that the press pleats are not removed. The length of the trouser legs is a matter of taste and one of the easiest things to adjust to the right length at a tailor.
