[quote=Anonymous]I like having pockets in which to put my hands or a small item I might need to stow for a little while (a key, my chapstick, some spare change, a wrapper when a trash can isn't handy, etc.). But I agree with PPs that pockets are really not a great place to be putting your wallet, phone, house keys, etc.

I wear a lot of menswear style pants that have perfectly functional pockets. I'm not talking fitted jeans where you can't put anything in the pockets. I mean like a proper pair of trousers. But I don't keep my phone in them! It's too heavy. Same with a wallet. I might throw my house keys in them for a minute.

All my coats/jackets have pockets. This resolves the pocket issue for much of the year. If I go for a walk or am doing something where I don't want to bring a purse, I just wear a coat. Especially helpful if I'm doing something outdoorsy like going hiking -- I just wear my fleece, which even has a pocket on the sleeve if I don't want to put items in the pockets meant for my hands. I also wear leggings or hiking pants that have pockets.

And yes, purses are useful and I actually feel sorry for men that they are discouraged from using them because they come in handy. My DH carries a backpack for his commute and it's basically a purse. He's not putting his iPad or his book in his pockets.

Really the "why aren't their pockets??" complaint primarily applies to evening wear (mens suits/tuxedos have pockets, most women's cocktail dresses and evening gowns do not) or certain skirts/dresses where it would be so easy to put a pocket in but the manufacturer is being cheap. Like any dress/skirt with an a-line or full skirt can easily accommodate pockets without changing the shape of the outfit, it's just cheapness/laziness on their part. But I'm not devastated about it, and you actually can get pockets put into a lot of dresses or skirts if you are so motivated. Or learn to do it yourself. It's one of the easiest things to do because generally the seam is already there and you just have to make a pocket and attach it.[/quote]
