Pockets ruin a lot of designs, both in terms of looks and in how they feel. Most of them are not big enough to carry anything of use around in, or they are angled in a way that will make the stuff fall out. A lot of people complain about the lack of pockets in clothing (especially women’s clothing), but there are better ways to carry things – like a purse (for both women and men) or wallet. And if you forget something in your pockets, have fun when your shirt is destroyed or stained.

Upvote because I fully disagree. I’d like several pockets per article of clothing thx
I want pockets because I don’t want to carry a purse. Purses suck and are a horrible way to carry things. I’ve never lost anything in my pockets, but a purse I might leave behind. Can’t leave the pockets behind when they are attached to me. As long as the wallet is small enough to fit in my pocket, sure, I’ll use one.
Are… are you carrying your wallet in your hands all day?
You get my upvote for this being unpopular. Everytime I don’t have pockets, I’m saying to myself “damn I wish I had pockets”. Always.
Upvoting because I hate this opinion. LOL Give me all the pockets!
Upvoted for being unpopular. I’d accept a word in which my socks and my beanie and my tank top and literally everything I wear had pockets.
A purse is not as convenient as a pocket. Even though I carry a purse when I go out I still keep my phone and AirPods in my pockets because they’re easier to get to there and they don’t move around like a purse can.
Edit. I do agree that short pockets are stupid. They’re just as bad as not having any pockets.
Hard disagree. In fact, you know those little pockets within your pockets I’d actually like for those to have their own little pocket.
Indeed, I can’t see the need for pockets on my underwear.
Definitely disagree. They ruin the look because the clothes weren’t designed with pockets in mind
If I have no pockets then my insulin pump gets shoved in my bra. I’ll take the pockets you don’t want.
We should normalize pockets in our bra. Small ones on the sides for folding cash and credit cards, flat under boob pockets for cell phones that let them lay along the upper tummy. I’m still not sure where the keys can go: maybe a small tab that can go around a strap. Anything to keep the things away from the sweat.
Why would I want to carry something when I can just put it in my pocket? Doesn’t make sense to me. It’s habit to remove whatever is in my pockets when I get home so no issue with forgetting anything. More likely to forget something if I always have to have it in my hand, I would definitely put my wallet down somewhere so I don’t have to hold it then it’s gone.
Counterpoint. We need way more pockets on all articles of clothing. In this materialistic world we seem to collect more and more. It is in our nature. The hunter needs more pockets. But the gatherer needs way more pockets than that. Bring on the sock pockets.
I can’t disagree more. I hate clothing without pockets. I hate carrying a purse, too. It’s so inconvenient and I have a tendency to try and carry too much when I carry a purse.
As it is I shove my phone and money in my bra, since nothing ever has pockets. All the time. I’m prolly gonna get boob cancer from my cellphone being against my tit all day since I was 13. I try not to when it’s hot out, cuz ew sweat, but even my jeans don’t come with pockets… so… not a lot of options.
The only thing worse than NO pockets is tiny pockets that hold nothing of value… It’s just an insult, like, “we put in pockets!!!! but not useful ones, ha!”
Upvote cos ya wrong. Pockets maketh an outfit
Any pocket on your clothing is a bonus pocket when fanny packs exist
No, I want pockets
I absolutely hate purses. I just want pockets for my phone, keys, and wallet.
Upvote for an unpopular opinion. Why wouldn’t I want to leave my hands free to do whatever I want instead of having to carry a purse?
I just don’t wear clothes tight enough for the pockets to be a problem if I want to put my wallet and phone in there. Problem solved.
I agree. The clothes I wear that I don’t want to bring a purse with (jeans and a tee) have enough pockets, and the other clothes I wear probably wouldn’t look as good (I don’t think) with pockets, so I bring a purse. But we’re DEFINITELY in the minority.
Where do you think I storr my wallet?
In a pocket.
Why would I want to carry a bag around? That is itself a big logistical drawback.
I feel most clothes should have pocket for practically but mostly for bottoms. Ana’s the pockets need to be fully functional. I don’t want pictures that are over inch deep or sewn closed and there for decoration. Give me a pocket to hold my phone or leave out it off completely.
my teenager pointing to their socks, underwear, and tank top “these don’t need pockets..”
Okay. No. Not all clothes need them. But many do. And if your reason is, just bring your purse, I don’t use one. I need enough pockets on my outfit to comfortably fit my wallet, keys, chapstick, fidgets, pocketknife, and… probably something else I’m forgetting.
A pocket won’t get left anywhere.
Upvoted. I wear cargo shorts in the summer, prefer a left breast pocket on my button downs, if not 2 breast pockets. Gotta have pockets
Pockets are the only reason I wear pants
