I think just about every female has suffered the plight of pockets. I don’t like carrying anything more than I have to, and finding a decent pair of pants with five functioning pockets is like trying to fish a quarter from behind the fridge.
Sit down, grab your favorite drink, and enjoy my review of the most common pocket failures in women’s clothing!
The Gotcha!
While these tricksters appear to be legitimate pockets, they are only a few centimeters deep. Rocking your cell phone in one of these is a recipe for a shattered screen and an empty wallet. You can maybe stuff a dime or two in them. Maybe.
Nope.
It looks like a real pocket. It looks like it’s deep and useful. Just look at the lovely thick threading on it! NOPE. It’s just a decorative slice of denim sewn onto the jeans.
The Slim Jane
Like the Nope, the Slim Jane looks like a working pocket. However, sliding anything other than a coin into this monstrosity is next to impossible. When you do manage to slip something useful (like your keys) inside, it is the battle of the bulge.
Oops, I spilled it again
These tiny seam pockets are about as useful as a cup of water with holes in it. Stuff your change and keys inside, and the second you take a step…Oops.
No Pocket
Lastly, we have a pair of jeans with no pockets whatsoever. The designers were too lazy to sew Nopes and Gotchas, and for that I thank them. I can instantly spot a pair of jeans with no pockets and move on.
