What's in your wardrobe?

[Edith Bacon]

I find it’s mostly a having a phone thing :))

[Marth]

Definitely a phone thing, and I very much like mooching about with my hands in my pockets.

I often have a pen in my pocket, various tablets, a tissue, daily contact lense so I don't forget to put it in.

What I hate most are those faux pockets or one where you can only get half a phone in. At work I need pockets for both phones when I'm seeing clients in the office.

I have a book called Radical Sewing that tells you how you can add pockets to most clothing :))

[Lola]

I don’t use pockets much either & definitely not around the house, although they are nice to have.

[Ella]

Also I think my home is too small for me to need pockets :)).

[Disco]

I like pockets but I don’t use them. I never cut the stitches in pockets so I leave them sealed up.

[Derek Nimmo]

I generally leave the house these days armed only with a key and a phone so pockets are a must. All of my bags are languishing forlornly in a cupboard.

[sally maclennane]

I use a bag most of the time but I still like pockets, mainly for mooching around as Marth describes. I do use them for my phone too.

Why would pockets be a children thing?

I think I pretty much always take a bag out with me - keys, phone, card holder, facemask, antibac and a couple of reusable shopping bags. What do bagless people do with their reusable shopping bags??!!

[Pippedydeadeye]

All of the above uses, and I’m often alone at work & need to lock the office if I go to the loo, so pockets are very useful for keys. I like them for teaching too, so I can keep a flipchart pen handy & stop myself being over expressive with my hands.

[Derek Nimmo]

These days, I go shopping in the car so they all live in the boot.

[Smunder Woman]

I have never lost the childhood habit of putting stuff in pockets. Pyjamas with pockets are the best.

[ParisGal]

My main needs are tissue and phone. But also putting hands in pockets when standing around or walking.

[wendy james]

I think pockets in an elasticated waist skirt could be an issue. I say this as somebody who steps on the hem and flashes my pants without additional weight in the skirt.

It’s a very nice skirt.

[ParisGal]

That's true, tissue yes, phone no :))

[Kenickie]

I don't go shopping these days unless it's planned, so I would then either just hold the shopping bag until I got to the shop/have it in the car/ bring a bag to hold it.

And actual physical shopping is only about once every three or four months these days.

[Luna]

I generally leave the house these days armed only with a key and a phone so pockets are a must. All of my bags are languishing forlornly in a cupboard.

Same here. I haven't used a bag for going out for months on end now.

[Lola]

Also I think my home is too small for me to need pockets :)).

I did wonder if this was a big house thing

I’ve also got a couple of very small crossbody bags that are just big enough for a phone & keys, which are very handy for just nipping out somewhere. Shopping bags live in the car so I can just grab one if I need one.

[Lola]

Also, I get very nervous for people who walk about in public with their phone in their back pocket

[nineseven]

I am a childfree pocket needer. I don't have a big house (lol) but I like to be able to put things in my pockets to help me carry more stuff. It's less of a going-out need and more of a staying-in need.

Unfortunately most of my new pyjamas don't have pockets, which was an oversight.

[bramblerose]

My best pyjama shorts (uniqlo) have pockets - good deep ones too.

I specifically bought a pair of men's cargo trousers because a) they were long enough, b) they were cheaper and c) they have massive pockets

I rarely leave the house with a bag these days.

I do love the rainbow skirt.
