I suspect a lot of women's fashion is designed around what men want to see unfortunately. I got myself a handbag shortly after transitioning due to losing the stuff I used to keep in my pockets all the time...

This is why I almost exclusively wear doctor pants instead of jeans. They're comfy, stain resistant, have multiple deep pockets, and old people ask me for medical advice at the pharmacy.

You mean cargo style scrub pants?

If you are short enough you can get pants in the juniors department with like 8000 pockets. Not the height of fashion, but comfy with those elastic waistbands and decently affordable.

Women are something to drape things onto! Do stuff? Exist??? The only thing they should do is stand very still and look pretty!!

What do you mean I've confused a woman with a mannequin???

(How I think they must think)

Yeah, let's get right on creating a company to compete with the fashion industry.

The problem isn't pockets, it's the systemic biases in the fashion industry that lead to beauty taking precedent over utility.

Have you read the rules here?

Finally we are seeing some women’s yoga pants with pockets. But how many years did it take for that to happen?

Fun fact: when women's fashion started doing this, men's took the logical opposite: so many pockets people would loose things in them

This isn't an appropriate remark to make anywhere but especially a women only community. Due to that I've had to ban you, and wish you all the best 💖

Why don’t you try it first and tell us how successful of an idea that is?

Okay so, perhaps a controversial opinion, but I don't actually like pockets on a lot of my clothes. Lounge clothes? Absolutely. Scrubs? Can't live without them. Clothes I wanna actually wear out? I'd rather use my purse. I don't personally like the look that pockets provide on some clothes, and I certainly don't like the way pockets look when there's something in them. I have dresses with pockets, and I could never use the pockets because I feel that they'd look awful.

But, I think there should be more options out there for other women do do want pockets. It's especially heinous on jeans, because those should have good pockets.

Whenever a fellow lady compliments your clothing item, it is required to respond that it has pockets if it indeed has pockets then demonstrate.

(and when I say pockets, I mean your whole hand fits)

I prefer my dresses not have pockets.
