I (36F) needed black dress pants for a retail job a while back. I went to like 15 stores looking for a pair that was A) durable enough to last more than a few weeks, B) made of a fabric that wouldn't pick up dust or lint specks if you looked at it wrong, C) had pockets deep enough to hold a box cutter and a sharpie without them falling out when you crouch to pick things up (I took my box cutter with me while shopping to check), and D) didn't wrinkle easily. I ended up having my retired military dad take me to the closest Navy exchange and buy me a pair of *their* women's dress slacks (I paid him back of course). I took those pants to a local dry cleaner to get them tailored to fit me and pockets added. They didn't have any pockets at all by default, but it turns out tailors can generally add stuff like that to almost any pants that aren't skintight. For not as expensive as you'd think. It cost me like $100 all in all (pants + tailoring and this was like 8 years ago so it'd probably be more now), but those pants fit me perfectly without needing a belt, looked great, had wonderful pockets, and lasted me several years even though I didn't go easy on them. Zero regrets.

And not everyone drives to be able to keep things in their car. Citynerd talked about how he didn't drive to a Walmart and they wouldn't let him in cause he was carrying a backpack. They told him to put it in his car. Which he didn't have.

Yup, can confirm. When a piece of women's clothing has _functional_ pockets it is genuinely one of the most happy/exciting finds on an entire outfit. For most of high school I straight refused to wear "women's" clothes because it just wasn't practical or cost effective; I could go to the men's section, get better quality clothes for a MUCH better price. For pants I just re-stitch the bottoms so they don't drag (and double perk was it is far less of a puzzle trying to find the right size!). Nearly all of my shirts to this day are from the men's section because they get the comfy thick cotton rather than the itchy thin (nearly see through) cotton and I'm spending at _least_ half as much for the same, if not better, shirt.

I recently, just for the heck of it, tried on a pair of men's jeans. And to my utter shock and surprise was overcome with anger because of the following two things: 1. Men's jeans fit my hips and waist way better than any women's jeans ever did, and I've got a bit of a curve to myself 2. I could fit my hand well past my wrist into the front /and/ back pockets Needless to say, I've bought those jeans. And multiple other pairs. They're my favorite jeans now. If you're a woman thinking about trying on men's jeans just for the heck of it, do it. You might be a bit limited in terms of sihlouette, color and accessorization, but otherwise, men's jeans are just superior. Try them on, and marvel at just how comfortable jeans can be.

You've summed up exactly why 98% of my pants and shorts are mens' styles. I own one pair of women's skinny jeans for certain occasions, and one pair of short-shorts for those especially balmy summer days here in Florida and because my boyfriend likes them. Neither have significant pockets. My men's pants all have pockets for days.

Ok, you've convinced me, after I get a corset, men pants are next.

I love pockets. In my nightgown: great In my purses: fantastic. My sweatshirt: whooo hoo!

I am a male and have so some pockets that go to my knees. My female friends said they barely had pockets and were shocked at the amount of stuff I had in them.

I would love an episode about inconsistent sizing, which mainly happens with bras but also jeans (and pretty much everything else, realistically). For women's clothing, it's almost a requirement to try the items on when buying jeans because you can have two of the same exact pairs of jeans (brand, style, everything) and they'll fit differently. This is likely due to the manufacturing process, but I _hate_ trying on clothing in-store. Why is creating consistent and universal sizing so difficult?

@InvaderZinga

Жыл бұрын

What sucks is that men have better sizing. For example pants; women have numbers like 4 or 6 which is arbitrary whereas men get stuff like 34x42 or something, giving the waist size and the length of the leg. Why can't they do something for woman pants? But to your point yes, it's crazy that you can be a small in one brand's clothes but be a large in another brand.

Vanity sizing! Expensive cloths for "older" ladies will make you think you need a smaller size so you feel better buying them. But yeah, size seems to be pretty random.

Pockets are simultaneously the best and worst thing in women's clothing depending on what type of clothing you're wearing... In jeans they're ridiculously small, in leggings they're notoriously non-existent, and in dresses they're the first thing you loudly proclaim the second someone compliments the dress (the fabulous "THANKS IT HAS POCKETS!!!" moment). I've always wanted to know the backstory about women's pockets, this was an excellent theory to start with!! I hope that he does an episode on the frustration of bra sizing someday.

Actually a pocket opening in skirts using the tie-on pockets were like in every skirt, so it was actually pretty easy to use them. Not to mention the skirt were often pleated and thus hid the opening really well. Even well into the edwardian era this way of hiding pockets were used to great effect. Not to mention, victorian pockets were MASSIVE. So if anything the pockets started becoming smaller after the 1910s. Bernadette Banner has a great video about the evolution of women's pockets

I will never get over the excitement I get when I instantly check if any dresses I'm given have pockets. The audible gasp upon finding them and then the slightly higher pitch in tone as I exclaim "It has pockets!!!!" and then putting my hands in said pockets to enjoy for a few seconds. Sadly with some that I have currently, even if they fit my whole hand they are wide and if I put my phone in them and sit down my phone flls out, but I still love having them. :3

As a guy- I’ve been complaining about the lack of pockets in my wife’s clothes for years. And only partly because it means she keeps making me hold things for her. Usually keys.

Basically what I’m trying to say is there shortly in your pocket so that you are required to have a purse to store your stuff

I would also like to encourage men to buy bags. That stuff is just as convenient as pockets! Instead of having to stand up or extend your leg in an awkward way to access your pockets, just get yourselves a messenger bag or satchel or sling or fanny pack. It’s also nice having your legs unrestricted by wallets, phones, keys, etc., AND you can obviously carry more stuff like chapstick, tissues, headphones, charging chords, etc.

Recently some brands have started making their pockets bigger in women's clothing. I have joggers with massive pockets and even pajama pants with pockets I guess so I can store my midnight snacks. We're thankfully moving in the right direction.
