I just refust to buy "pork chop" pockets or any pocket that is sewn through the front creating a circle on each hip.  

 

Why not just paint a stop sign on each hip and be done?


I love pockets, they give me something to put my hands in. But you are right, those type of pockets do look silly.

Re: Does anyone else HATE pockets?

I'm not a fan of pockets in pants but I love them in dresses that are not form fitting.

 

On the rare occasion that I wear jeans, the only thing I put in a pocket is a tissue and money. 

 

I am not tied to my cell phone in the house as we use our landline.  When I go out, I use a wristlet for my phone. I've never put my phone in my pocket.

The only place I want pockets is on outerwear.

I sew them closed on knit pants.

Love pockets on pants, shorts, jackets,etc.  They are stylish and practical at the same time.  I also like them on some dresses.  Just a place to put my hands at times.  On a body con dress they are impractical, but give me a dress that has a bit of flow to it and pockets are great!

Nope, I love pockets, especially in slacks/pants and in warm weather. If what I'm wearing doesn't have pockets in it, then I have to put a vest, jacket, etc. over it so I have a place to keep my keys/security fob, etc.

I do not like pockets, never use them. For me, they are a waste of fabric.

If pants don't have pockets, I don't buy them.

I agree, and that's why I always try to wear something with pockets when I venture out these days.

 

I also stash my cellphone in a pocket, so that I can at least make a call, in case I get "snatched" or lose my purse. Smiley Wink
