And I've figured out why those work pants I got were so cheap. The front pockets are kind of like jeans pockets where they're on the inside and they're really tight, and the one side pocket they have is only attached halfway down, the bottom half just flaps around freely.
These things would be annoying for someone on a job site that's actually using the pockets on their trousers constantly, but it's fine for me just in an office all day. The only annoying thing is that leg pocket can flap around when pedalling on the bike.
The pairs of jeans I bought the other day have bum pockets but the front ones are fake ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
On the bright side, the dress I bought has pockets (!!!!!!) which I didn't realise until after I bought it home.
You could get some thread and sew the bottom on the pocket so it doesn't flap about and make it usable
I have a pair of jeans like that, it's really annoying.
I was thinking of attaching the pocket. I'll just have to do it 5 times over.
And when will the handbag lobby get out of women's clothing and just let them have the pockets they crave?
