Blazer with decent pockets?

I tried posting this in shopping but got nowt so hoping I can find some help on here as it a school "uniform" problem.
DD1 has decided on her 6th form for next year & they have a 'work wear' dress code. Easy for boys - suits but girls need either dress suit (how 80's) or a dress with jacket or blazer. She's resigned to this but we need to find a jacket / blazer with a good number of pockets to replace her school blazer which has all her stuff in it. Suggestions for jackets with a minimum of an inner pocket & min of two outer pockets please.

No suggestions except to also try posting on Style&Beauty. They are very helpful there!

I have a tonne of blazers for work.

I don't think any of them have inner pockets (unless I've never checked).

The ones with good outer pockets are from Zara.

I would recommend that she uses a pencil case or something and storing her stationary in her bag rather than her blazer.

Distraction sorry but work wear for women does not mean dress / skirt at all this side of the 21 century

Have a look at Joules

Can they not wear trousers?!

Anyway blazers for women are shut and do not have the pockets like a school blazer. Would she wear an un-badged school one?

You're spoiled for choice at the moment on outer pockets, H&M has some great well priced blazers but almost everyone on the high street has them as well.

But inner pockets on women's jackets are like hen's teeth: infuriating these days when people want to leave the house with just a phone, maybe a credit card, and keys. The only solution I've found is to wear small men's jackets and get the sleeves taken up, or Jigsaw sometimes have them....at a price.

Loads of blazers in the shops will have functional outer pockets, you just have to unsnip them. But I agree that school uniform unbadged blazers might be a good shout.

www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-girls-school-blazer-black/p384978 this says it has 2 x inside pockets, one of which is zipped
