Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

[up][up] I typically carry a backpack instead of a purse. It's more convenient since both your arms stay free and much better for your back than having a bag on one side

I either need to tighten my belt or get slimmer jeans. I'm a freaking skeleton now. I don't want those skinny jeans because, in my opinion, they are stupid. I remember my Dad getting a pair for me and he ended up returning them the next day. The reasoning he bought them for me is because he thought since everyone was wearing them, I should join in that style.

Ew.

Oh skinny jeans are really uncomfortable my mom used to get them for me when I was very skinny and they would squeeze my legs even if they did stay up. Belts are much better.

Also fake pockets are the worst, I've got this blazer and I've put it on a few times and I thought I had pockets but than I go to put something inside and I have none it's the worst. I already said this but it bears repeating.

I actually prefer skinny jeans when I do have to wear pants, TBH? There'/ just something about the snugness that makes me feel comfortable. But I understand. :P

Understandable if you like skinny jeans but I'm not too keep on things that are popular. Mostly because I'd rather stick to my own style: All black, with black skull hat, black nail polish and a stoic face.

And now all the gals will look at me and find me resistable. tongue

I'll be blunt: If you're looking for pockets in women's clothing, you're pretty much stuck with businesswear.

Most of what we wear tends to lack it, or is as Sixth says 'fake pockets'.

I seriously suggest you get used to carrying a bag or having a laptop case on wheels, because while maybe overblown for some they make up for it when it comes to storage.

it was definitely painful not having pockets when wearing a skirt. i either had to wear my hoodie or stick my cellphone in my chest area place in order to have it readily available

one of these days i might just make a women's clothing line specifically advertised as having pockets

it aint fair that only guys get to really enjoy the usefulness of pockets

@Rachel I've honestly found business wear some of the worst stuff for that. Unless we are working from different definitions, I'm thinking like formal pants, or skirts or blazers and the like, for the record. Like what you would wear in an office I assume.

[up]Not exactly formal pants as business pants, there's a subtle difference in some places in that businesswear tends to have pockets simply because of how often you'll find yourself with a mobile/cell phone and how often a person with their phone in their pocket will have other things as well.

Well, there's always aftermarket customisation...

...wait, that tends to cost a lot for clothing.

Got handed down a whole bunch of boot cut (I think) jeans lately. I have no idea how durable Puma jeans are, but if they don't constrict my calves they're good in my book.

When purchasing clothing, most people don't realize that ideally you need everything tailored to you specifically after the fact. Of course, not everyone can afford to do that.

Its just imposible to carry things without one.

It's a conspiracy. Women don't have pockets so you're forced to buy purses. Women's clothes are also so thin so you're forced to buy layers.

Oh really when?

I belive it but like purses are great any way.

Women's clothes are thin so they can show off their curves.

So why aren't men's clothes thin so they can show off their triangular builds?

What's the point of getting it off rack if you need it tailored. Also tailors are super-rare nowadays in addition to being expensive. So unless you have a friend to do alterations.

Not entiiiiiirely true - there's quite a few tailors in London who work pretty cheap, and make pretty decent clothes.

Of course, London is pretty much home to a massive population of the professional classes.

The thin clothes things is such a struggle. Like I've had to invest in multiple layers of clothing since middle school, because the shirts I bought in the juniors section of department stores were completely freaking see through. You should be able to wear a single shirt without breaking dress code, why should I have to spent money on extra shirts just to be decent...

Another problem is low-rise jeans, which have also been haunting me since middle school. My dad just accidentally bought jeans that were too low rise and complained that he couldn't bend over without having to pull his shirt down. I told him to cry me a river, that's been my life since I was 10...
