cargo pants

frequentshopperlady — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:03:23 GMT

has anyone noticed that all recently presented cargo pants the pockets are on the left side.
i think the pockets should be on right side becuzzzzz most people are right handed. i would buy the pants AND use the pocket if it were on the right side.

I am amidextrous so I dont care what side they are on. I just want straight or wide leg cargo's.

I love cargos and I'm right handed. It doesn't make any difference to me what side the pockets are on.

Do you really put stuff in the pockets?

(I don't like pockets in anything except outerwear.)

I'm not ambidextrous, but I agree. Last pair of cargo pants I bought I couldn't even get on because the legs were too slim. Then, every pair I looked at were also skinny legs. I just bought wide leg pair, probably more wide leg than I would want, especially for my height, but I'm at least planning on wearing them with heeled booties, so that may help a little.

Maybe if you could find Carpenter pants. They usually have pockets on both sides I think.

I wish they'd leave the pocket off of pants legs. They're useless. I often see nice pair of pants, spot a pocket on them and move on to another style. They limit versatility by making them too casual. 7

@Kachina624 Reminds me of the days when ELBOW PATCHES were "the thing". They were halfway to MY WRIST. di

@Icegoddess I can't imagine how awful skinny legged cargo pants would look. I expect a certain look with cargos and skinny pants is not it!

I'm left handed, totally, but the pocket placement on cargos doesn't matter to me.

@MoJoV Maybe not on you, but on my thick legs, these would be skinny cargos. Took me less than 5 minutes to find them online:

These appealed to me so I ordered them thru Target. Went back and looked b/c I could not remember about the picket placement.

You can see pockets are on both sides; what I like are the seams for shaping that are on them. They are not here yet, so we will see.

A few months ago I saw a rather "well built" woman wearing leggings that had pockets on the outside of the thighs. Leggings were a tannish color - just a bit darker than a medium beige/tan skin color.

She was walking toward me.

She had a cell phone in one pocket and her keys in the other.

I see why you like them. The color is nice and they are closely fitted but not tight/skinny.

I like them and don't care where the pocket(s) are. I own in black, navy, and tan. Anybody and Susan Graver are the brands I bought. They're wide leg with Regular seam. The material is soft and comfortable. Not sure if they're still available. One thing I use the pocket for is my Fitbit.
