Do you think all ladies’ trousers, shorts etc have pockets

You answered your own question! Clearly they don’t all have pockets if the ones you were wearing didn’t 😂

Loads of people run in my local park, the women all wear leggings and have their phone, keys and whatever else strapped to their arm, chest or waist in some sort of holder or bag. Looks cumbersome and faffy.

The men of course are just in shorts and top with all their stuff in their massive pockets.

I was jealous so got some men's shorts for my runs and it's so much better.

There's absolutely no reason why they can't make exercise clothes with decent pockets for women, but they seem hard to find.

The concept and look of it was the same I saw it didn't have a hood when i bought it, but I didn't realise theirs had inside pockets til later.
I am pretty small , a man's one would have been too big.

When you buy pants, you can choose ones with pockets.

Absolutely agree that more pockets in everything are required. I walk the dog and have to take a bloody bum bag, because I need to keep my car keys zipped up and my phone and the poo bags need to go somewhere, and the dogs ball when it’s time to walk on the roads.

if I get a coat (usually a branded hiking or skiing one) with zip up pockets on the outside, inside and breast I’m absolutely ecstatic.

It doesn't sound like a different jacket, just the women's version. Likely has the same name on it. Men's clothing only fits some women.

The pocket debate annoys me. I don't buy mens clothes with all their extra features because they are fussy and it bothers me to have extra fabric , and carrying things in pockets rather than a bag means people lose keys etc all the time. Im always hearing stuff about men taking stuff out of pockets and putting them down and then losing keys etc
Get a bag

Women always used to carry a handbag so didn't need pockets. I think less women like handbags now so more demands for pockets. Outdoor firms do trousers with pockets but smart ware is rare to have pockets

Love pockets, hate not having them. Men would never put up with their clothes not having pockets. I've recently got in to Seasalt dresses because some of their styles have pockets. I don't even need a bag much of the time now, just put my keys and phone in my pocket :)

Sounds like a completely different jacket. Couldn't you have bought the same one as the men? Didnt you check it had a hood and pockets first?

Need an international movement and campaign to convince all women in every country to stop buying clothes without pockets.

Organise some protests marching between Next and Zara in Milton Keynes.

"What do we want?"
"POCKETS!!"
"When do we want em?"
"AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE PLEASE!"

No of course they dont. I dont want pockets in everything. I carry a bag. Much more practical for me, and as my hips and thighs are my widest part, i really hate having the extra fabric there unless its really thought out to stay in place well.
I wouldnt want breast pockets on all my tops either because i have big tits.
How about people just buy the clothes with the features they like, or work out ways round it. If i want trousers with pockets there are plenty available. I have jeans and cargos with pockets if i want them

Probably a decade ago, some (male) work colleagues bought a lightweight winter jacket from primark that packed into a sort of pouch or bag, and said it was useful for the train.

I bought the women's version. Theirs had outside pockets, inside pockets and a hood. Mine had outside pockets, no inside pockets and no hood!

Of course they should but they don't.
I recently dug out an old pair that I now fit into again, and .... no pockets. How does that work on holiday?? DH will have to carry my phone.

I bought my DD (8) a jacket online recently. Clearly looks like there are pockets, but they were just for looks.
Might be a good thing though, the other day i found a live snail in her old jacket 🤯

You need this Pockets for Women

As well as more clothes needing pockets, we should be able to filter on “pockets” on on-line clothing sites. I don’t have time to scroll through 167 dresses to find the 3 with pockets

How many men would be so bothered by their silhouette ? It's such a shame that so many women are

I love pockets , big pockets, as I dislike handbags - they are a faff

Easier not to use them or to sew them up than add them in, therefore I think the default should be pockets.

I agree. I don't like pockets.

No, I hate side pockets on my trousers. I have even been known to sew them up. As a pear shape, pockets add bulk to my widest part, and I never use them anyway because unless they have a zip they aren't very secure. How about we stick with a range of styles to give women the choice?

I was trying to buy work trousers online and it didn't even mention if they had pockets and you couldn't tell by the pictures as they could just be those tiny/pretend pockets. Very frustrating!

House key or phone if you go for a walk? Change for cash only stalls at markets?

Any functional work or everyday clothing ought to have pockets. If it's something to wear out where the primary function is the look then maybe not. If there are pockets then they should be the same as in men's clothing of that size.

All mine do as I refuse to buy them without!
