It’s just a handy place to put my phone down for a second. Or stash a pen or a credit card.

    Over 10 years ago I remember watching this fashion series on TV, a kind of reality TV type thing you’d watch if there was nothing better to do. There was this… very old French woman as part of the main host. Apparently she was some sort of fashion design bigwig in Paris. But she said something like:

    “Women should never have pockets. Clothes should accentuate the most powerful thing we have, which is the feminine form. Pockets ruin this. To be womanly is to carry a handbag.”

    I remember thinking to myself what a load of pretentious bullshit fashion must be.

      Not to mention that she’s also meaning that all women should only care about looking beautiful and attractive, fuck practicality

      Also ridiculous to think no one can come up with pockets that are flattering. Get creative old French lady
