one needs pockets, there should be some on any piece of clothing! :)

a collective scream of joy rose from romania as Simona Halep Official Fanpage made it to the roland garros finals w/ sharapova! go, simona!

Oh gods yes. Pockets, please.

And you know, I think this is an area where we can really see how sexist and chauvinist our culture still is. I wish I had a dollar for every time a man had said to me, “Why don’t you put that (keys, money, credit card, lip balm, lipstick, sunglasses, business card, flier, cell phone) in your POCKET?” To which, of course, I often have to say …

I haven’t GOT any pockets!!!

And when you have to say this, and you’re standing there with that thing in your hands (whatever it is), trying to figure out what to do with it, it’s hard not to look a little less competent. Heaven forfend you have to hand the Thing over to your male companion, which is just infantilizing.

And even when I have got pockets – as, for example, in jeans – well. Have you ever compared the pockets in your girly jeans to those of your bf or dh? The first time I actually borrowed a pair of jeans from a male friend, I was shocked – the pockets went halfway. down. my. thighs. Seriously. They did. OTOH, my “boyfriend cut” jeans from the women’s department had pockets about an inch and a half deep. Gah.

The dream of my life is to have a custom-tailored blazer that has all the pockets that come standard in my husband’s jackets.

I think it’s lazy for designers to say (if this is indeed their excuse) that it’s too difficult to incorporate pockets into womens’ clothes that won’t ruin the line. I have a couple of full skirts with pockets, and you could carry bricks in there without having bulges. OK, maybe functional pockets in cigarette pants or skinny jeans aren’t feasible, but if we had jackets with real pockets (those interior ones they give to men! ahhh! I want!! I want!!!!!) it wouldn’t matter.

I think as our lives get busier, the convenience that real pockets can provide will become more important to more women – and I hope designers and clothing manufacturers will give us more of them. I live in hope.

I have that jacket too and its lack of pockets I endlessly lament.

I dunno anything about making clothes, but maybe see if the seamstress can help you add pockets?

Pareil que toi ! j’allais presque dire que “je me sens nue sans mes poches” !

Alex ! I think exactly the same! And COS is wonferful for that, because they put some pockets on ALL their clothes, even the skirts and the dresses.

Finally a brand which understood the working girls that we are ;)

Love dresses with pockets!

I love and need pockets everywhere so I have sewn pockets inside all my leather jackets. You can open the lining and sow a little bag between the leather and the lining or you can just sow three sides of simple square directly over the lining. It can’t be really big but it’s better than not having pockets.

I love that first outfit. I also lack of pockets but there is always time to change it… Oh, I have to go shopping soon! :)
