'Girls need to carry things too!': How #women's #pockets became so controversial

"Pocket inequality isn't new – it's a centuries-old frustration. But the issue has been thrust back into the spotlight with increasing frequency in recent years. A #WeWantPockets hashtag gained momentum on social media… A 2020 YouGov survey in the UK found that four in 10 women had put an item of clothing back on the rack once they realised there were no pockets."

'Girls need to carry things too!': How women's pockets became so controversial

Why do men's clothes have so many pockets, and women's so few? For centuries, the humble pocket has been a flashpoint in the gender divide of fashion. Is that finally set to change?

@adam yes. My favourite is extending my left jeans pocket so I can fit a phone (yes I wish I could buy them like that, but am woman - I would pay a premium lol). #WeWantPockets

Ah never learn to fix your own jeans people; just bought a replacement pair and I won't be happy until I unpick labels (ew), extend the left pocket (so my phone fits), and take them in at the back (it helps with gape!). Least the length is perfect!

In totally unrelated news ive taken apart an old mangled but well fitted pair to make myself a pattern.

Hosentaschen! Oder Taschen bei Kleidern. Auch etwas was mich massiv nervt in der #Mode Immer zu klein oder nicht vorhanden. #wewantpockets

Warum es nicht einmal bei Hosentaschen Gleichberechtigung gibt

Die einen schlucken ein paar Münzen, die anderen ein Smartphone. Warum sind die Hosentaschen der Frauen kleiner als die der Männer? Eine Spurensuche
