Women are supposed to be objects to admire, and aren't allowed to have functional clothing as a result. Didn't you know that?

Also, purse sales would suffer.

The one place I want to have pockets is at the bar. I'm fine with carrying everything in a little sack, but the second I've been drinking I can't keep track of things that aren't attached to me.

Could it be because women keep buying them? I’ve never seen my mother wear pants without pockets, and when she bought a new jacket, the amount and placement of pockets was the first thing on her mind.

Only now I realize the significance of that. But still. How hard is it to not buy pocketless apparel?

If you just bust through the bottom of the pocket, you technically have infinite pocket.

Buy the clothes with pockets then FFS. Stop whining about being oppressed over pockets.

Because women still mostly buy jeans without pockets. There isn't a strong enough financial incentive for manufacturers to add pockets to womens jeans.

If you want to change it then start buying jeans with pockets, easily available online.

Get a nice Jean vest. I’m a dude, but I basically treat mine like it’s my purse.

I wear an elaborate holster sort of purse on my left hip that wraps around my thigh and waist. Helps out a lot.

I generally dress in fancy and insane outfits though.

Maybe it’s time to design a Jean vest for the busty gal. All the under space would allow for bigger inside pockets!

Well that’s lame. It shouldn’t cost a mint to look mint.

I cropped out the rest of the image, to focus on this.

My whole aesthetic is to look like I fell out of a Final Fantasy sometimes.

It’s a good vibe!

Yea that’s true. My pockets get pretty bloated at work. Maybe saddle bags for humans is the solution?

In full seriousness, one of my green lights for a relationship is someone who values functional pockets in clothing and other practicalities.

Normal women: “I want bigger pockets.”

You: “I need nineteen belts.”

I mean, I got three distinct styles.

• Final Fantasy: lots of straps, unusual clothing cuts, grandiose and sweeping fashion ideas that look modern and are easy to travel with
• Detroit Become Human: clean, simple clothes from about twenty years from now, futuristic and timeless all at once
• Life is Strange: trying to blend in with normal people fashion, but doing it too hard, being too memorable?

because bulky pockets ruin the look of a garment.

Because women's clothes with usable pockets don't force women to buy an expensive purse ontop.

You are a voice of reason in these comments!

I get so tired of being told to go buy pants with pockets or buy men’s jeans, when that has nothing to do with the point. Women deserve pockets in our jeans. Period.

One day, I’m going to go to a few stores with women’s jeans and count the ratio of how many have actual pockets. I already know it will be low. Buying jeans online comes with a whole other set of problems like fit, color, and style not being what’s show in pictures.

Below are 2 pairs jeans I own, similar style and pricing, basic denim jeans. The one on the left, fits most of my hand. The one on the right, barely fits my lighter without worrying I’ll lose it. There is no reason the pathetic pockets on the right should even exist.

I’m sure you can find exceptions, but most purses, especially the more expensive ones, are just big voids with a shoulder strap (if even that). They’re designed to be fashion accessories.

You can replicate the entire function of most purses with a plastic grocery bag.

Practicality is something like a backpack or shoulder pack. Many pocket and compartments, designed for weather resistance, rugged and durable. And honestly, more fashionable than a lot of people realize. So many colors and designs to choose from.

Yep! I keep that picture around for when folks say women’s clothes can’t have pockets because it messes with “the lines” or that pockets don’t fit the style. That argument is perfectly fine for cute tighter dresses, but it’s dumb for things like jeans and regular skirts.

How hard is it to buy pocketless apparel?

It’s actually a lot harder than you think because most women’s clothing do not have proper pockets.

Ah, then I wasn’t clear enough.

I meant that something like that would get mentioned without prompting in normal conversation. That such things are constantly on their mind.

“You look really nice.”

“Thanks, it’s hard to find good jeans in my size with actual pockets.

If you don’t like tiny pockets, then why did you buy pants with tiny pockets? I seriously don’t understand the logic.

Men’s underpants come with flies and without flies. Those without are usually cheaper. If I want a fly, I buy those with a fly. I don’t buy underpants without a fly and then complain that I didn’t get a fly.

I believe you that pants with big pockets are hard to find and that it’s effort to buy them. But that still doesn’t add any sense to buying pants with tiny pockets.

Sadly, that’s one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me.

Men's pants are sold by leg length and waist size, you can get a pair that are long enough for you and large enough for your hips.

That's the space for the pockets to carry things.

Because I bought them 20 years ago at a deep employee discount at a time when I needed pants and those were the pants available to me. Retail price of both were about the same, except the bigger pockets were purchased within the last 2 years. It’s not that they are hard to find, they can be impossible to find.

If you had no options other than pants without a fly or digging through multiple stores to find the one style of pants that might have a fly but are the ugliest vomit color green and do not fit comfortably, you would complain too.

Personally I don’t like ordering clothes online, but I did find this shop which seems to have made it its point to produce women’s pants with big pockets: https://radianjeans.com/ No clue if they’re any good, since I’m neither in the market for women’s pants nor in the US.

It’s hard to judge from photos, but some of these show women putting their whole hand in the pockets: https://oldnavy.gap.com/shop/womens-pants-with-pockets-0aaz06b

You’ve made the point clear to me. Thank you.

My Ex had a pair of slacks that had "fake pockets" on it. She would complain literally every time she wore them. One day, it dawned on me that nicer pants and coats for men, sometimes had pockets sewed shut loosely to keep them looking nice in the store (i think that's the reason anyways). So, I asked her if it was sewn shut, and it was. She was mad at me for not telling her sooner.

So buy the women's clothes with pockets. Or get them tailor made or learn to sew them yourself. Or wear the less flattering options that have pockets. The world doesn't owe you the specific clothes you want and there is no grand conspiracy to keep women from having the size of pockets a few would prefer. Seriously, do you consider everything that doesn't cater to you a conspiracy against women? I'm so sick of hearing the whining outrage over very trivial shit as if it has any importance at all.

I once read a post by an Etsy clothes-maker complaining that pants with pockets were her worst-selling items. Maybe that's why?

Women's pants should have cargo pockets big enough to fit any grandmother's purse. If some of my pants pockets can go up to my elbows (not even exaggerating, it's an embarrassing pain to fish my keys out of those pockets), then women should be able to lose their wristwatch in a cavernous pocket.

Anecdote: Sometimes my wife carries a pair of ankle-high socks in her purse, in case we're gonna have to take our shoes off or whatever. This sometimes requires reorganizing her bag. When she's told me to take an extra pair of socks, of which I only have knee-high compression socks, I just match a pair, fold them, and stick them in one of my four available pockets on any of my pants. I do not have a single set of pants incapable of holding a week's worth of knee-high compression socks.

Unless it has a lining, you should be able to determine whether the pockets are real or fake by checking the inner side.

As someone who wore men's jeans and now wears women's... even women's jeans with pockets have ridiculously small pockets compared to men's. It's really not just a matter of choice, because a majority of the choices just don't exist.
