To think men's clothing is so practical compared to womens.

[tempchecked]

I've been searching for a cheapo warm over the bum jacket to knock about in, and nothing suitable in women's department.

However, up in the men's department, there was the perfect jacket... zipped pockets, inside pocket and a peaked hood for the rain. So warm and cosy. NOTHING similar in the women's department. It is zipped so none of that buttons on the other side mullarkey either!

Slippers.... I wanted closed slippers with a decent sole for going outside to put the bins out etc. Women's department full of feathers, diamonds and other fluff and all, apart from (sorry) old lady velcro types were backless, so flip flop flip flop. Got a great pair of memory foam with a great sole and so warm and comfortable, yep... in the mens.

Gilets.... I love them and have several. Saw one in the men's department with exactly the same material as the women's version, BUT with zipped pockets and an inside pocket, so handy. Same price as the womens.

Now bear in mind I was buying for comfort not style or labels and I like nice girly things too, but I detest the puffer coats that make you look like Mr. Michelin. Anyway. I bought them all and am delighted with them all. Size Small fits with a bit of room, but that's ok.

This was all in Primark and the jacket, gilet and slippers cost £45 altogether, what a bargain!

I want women's items to be practical, so AIBU to think they should be?

It’s v odd for women (or anyone) to need to justify use of a pocket surely on item which may be worn out of bed around the house

There isn’t a need to justify it, but surely there is no harm in satisfying another’s curiosity.

I don’t own any pyjamas so the benefits of pockets in them isn’t immediately obvious.

coogee Apols. I got pocket precious there for a bit.

well as a 6ft woman with 36 inch leg and size 12 feet. all i wear is mens clothes and trainers

im also a K cup but not "big" elsewhere so clothes in womans sizes are to big apart from the bust and are always to short

mens tshirts fit me way better

And men’s tshirts stop your upper arms getting burnt. (Same with k Boys t shirts)
