It’s just a handy place to put my phone down for a second. Or stash a pen or a credit card.

    There used to be pockets on women’s clothes - or more accurately, you tied them on yourself as they came separately from the clothes - but they fell out of fashion as handbags became the fashion statement that said: look - I’m not poor enough to have to have pockets.

    Very dumb, but it is what it is.

    What baffles me now is that pockets on women’s clothes haven’t made a comeback yet. How asleep at the wheel are fashion designers?

      I suspect that the problem is that while people want big pockets, small pocket clothes look better. If there was a real demand for big pockets, there would be money to make in selling those, and big pocket brands would dominate.

        I think you might be giving a bit too much credit to the industry here.
