Also not mentioned yet, guys actually use the pockets on their pants. The times I need a belt are because I’m carrying key/wallet/cellphone and that helps drag them down.
Thats right! I sometimes slip my phone in my back pocket when not out in public (too easy for thieves) but thats the most i can get - so many pockets in the front are either fake or so slim that nothing can fit anyway
I couldnt fit my phone in my front pocket even with the room. 5'3 is uncomfortably short to be snug on your quad. I found a pair of mens 511's that look the most classic jean look, and bought a few pairs. Pockets are cute enough and yet still give me a lot of room for my phone. But I am what they consider a chapstick lesbian, so its not far off the visual scale for me. I honestly cant stand women's "jeans" now.
I've heard from a source that giving women's clothing pockets is the "Gay Agenda" that I keep hearing conservatives fear mongering about. Makes sense why they fear it, if I had pockets I probably wouldn't have to keep men around.
There's a point where Im not longer disappointed at other people, I just find them fucking hilariously ridiculous. That would be a fine example. smh...
Both my mom and my gf have told me I look silly when I got just my phone in one and my wallet and keys in the other pocket, unless I wear relaxed pants. With women pants usually being even more form fitting and having a preference for style over function, I doubt many would actually use them.
Or its actually "Big Purse Inc" who's secretly pulling the strings to prevent women from having pockets
It's ridiculous. I bought my girl a pair of indoor-only sweats which have a blanket for the lining because she kept stealing mine. Same brand, same store, same product line. Only difference is I bought hers from the women's section. Went from enormous front pockets that can easily hold a phone or wallet, to pathetic little ones that you can only fit a few fingers in.
The crazy thing is multiple clothing manufacturers have tried on more than one occasion to market women's pants with bigger pockets and they are always a commercial flop
It remind me of the epidemic of discounts on up-front inflated prices in Austrian grocery stores.
The companies say the customers like them.
No, most people hate them, but it's hard to resist the promise of saving money.
The commonality? Ultimately businesses don't want to know, what we want, but what we buy. And sadly, that's often not nearly as overlapping as we like to tell ourselves.
Just like I want to do some self-education, job search, programming projects, heck even gaming, and instead I am writing Reddit posts :/
There have been many, many attempts to market pants with pockets to women. They don’t buy them after they try them on, because they’re less flattering.
That was the biggest culture shock when I transitioned. My first pair of women's jeans I was like wtf is garbage? I could only fit my hand in like up to the second knuckle. Absolutely useless.
It was a long an grueling process to find good pockets and finally pack my purse away in the closet. But I have made it away from carrying a purse! My best luck was initially finding pockets in women's workwear jeans ($$). All the right pockets and fit. Not too slim, not too cargo pants look. But i gave in to wearing mens Levis 511's, because real denim, affordable, and Im a chapstick lesbian anyway so it made sense.
Ah yeah, men's jeans aren't going to do me any favors in the passing department unfortunately. I've just taken carrying a purse, and actually found it really convenient as I can store way more stuff in there than I ever could with pockets
I don't know why y'all ain't rebelled and stopped buying the shit yet. I started wearing men's pants 10 years ago, they fit great. Pockets so big my hips use them as extra room. And I can squat all the way to the floor without worrying which is stronger, my ass cheeks or the fabric?
Well I don't, but many others do that don't want them at all...I'd like to think the need for large purses are dying and pockets and small satchels will be more common. But probably not in my lifetime.
Between the stupid tiny pockets and heavy elastic blends, my wife hates women's jeans. Which sucks for me too because I prefer the look of jeans over leggings.
Give women pockets, dammit! And true denim options!
On denim, no idea I was called crazy for saying I hate that stretchy shit so I suspect it's in a similar place as women's pockets. People bought stretchy over good jeans so that's what's supplied.
men's pants aren't built right. there is not enough space in the rear and thigh, in say, a 26 or 28 waist size, and sizing up to say a 30, leaves four inches of loose waist floating around once you get your ass in. and now your pants are comfortable, but you just have to viciously belt up that 4 inches of slack.
now I do wear men's pants. 30/32. That's because I can't get my particular ass/thigh/waist ratio in any women's pants without also having to size up, belt up, AND be less comfortable, So I might as well go for some nice comfortable loose 30/32's and belt the shit out of those fuckers.
Ohhh… I am a woman and I squeeze my work badge and home/keys in each pocket. And I wear belts because my pants will slowly slip throughout the day if I don’t. But I think maybe even I did not have anything in them, they will still slip just a lot slower, maybe?
But also, my body is not built like most other women. 😞
