This is an issue that has become a lot worse over the last years - when I look at my mother's old pants, they had pockets so deep, women of today can only dream of.
It ranges from very tiny pockets (where one cannot even fit their hand, let alone anything else in), FAKE pockets (what even??) and not pockets at all.
I even notice this in my work uniform where the jacket for females lacks the typical inside- and front pocket, like you would expect it. I've seen one woman wearing a blazer with a front pocket but it turned out to be fake.
Even my pants have pockets in a way that it is pretty much impossible to put anything in them without fearing to loose it.
To be honest, I cannot even put my ID, my inhaler OR my wallet into any of my pockets, so it comes very in handy to have a guy at your side to store them for you - on top of their phone, wallet, ID, keys, etc.
Why is that, though?
To be honest, I can only think of disadvantages:
- Always having to bring a bag (which also gives you neck pain AND makes you a better target for theft - plus pulls your skirt up when you are wearing one)
- Not being able to warm / rest your hands
- Ever wondered why women bring their bag to the toilet? If you put your phone into your back pocket, chances are you'll flush it down the toilet when you sit down, putting it into the front pocket, chances are it will fall out and break. Fantastic.
- We have to come up with stupid ways to have our stuff on us >> money/phone in bra/boot/stocking
Sadly, man-shorts, which used to be my go-to before puberty are no longer an option when you have curves.
Maybe one day, we will experience what it is like to have pockets so deep, water bottles can be transported in them or pants with 7+ pockets including specific holders for pens which is something I always marvel at.

That is an awesome idea! I might do this as well...thanks for sharing it!
AntwortenLöschenI've always hated this! When I find a dress or skirt or pants with real, useful pockets I buy it right away because...ah! Pockets! I hate purses and bags too. I don't mind tiny backpacks, but you have to carry them around and they can get stolen. They really cramp my style. I think this exist because 1. women's clothing tends to be fitted or tight to the skin and 2. no pockets means we have to spend money on purses. Not cool. I hope is changes soon. I'm looking into "boyfriend cut" jeans that tend to be looser and have better pockets.
