Re: What are you a snob about?

So it's apparently an American thing? Because that doesn't apply at all where I live. (Leggings with pockets would look terrible anyway because the fabric is too thin and the fit too tight for the pockets not to be ugly anyway so i don't see the problem. Leggings are not the type of clothing you wear if you want pockets.)

Yeah its at least an american thing, not sure about other places. And idk if this is what above anon meant, but skinny jeans will semi frequently not have pockets at all (the infamous "fake pocket") or have tiny unusable pockets you could maybe fit a tube of lipstick into.

YeH that sounds annoying. That explains a lot.

IDK, I'm Canadian and it's definitely an issue here too, but then, the majority of our clothing stores are American, so.

Leggings are not the type of clothing you wear if you want pockets.

Depends on how thin and legging-like the fabic is. Jeggings are NOT leggings, after all. The fabric used for jeggings is often just as thick as the fabric used for jeans, they just add an extra couple percent of lycra to the mix and presto, jeggings! Ditto legging-like trouser pants. I have two pairs and they could absolutely have pockets if the designer had wanted them too. I mean, I could (and do) wear these legging-esque trouser pants to work, that's how much they resemble a slim-fitting trouser.

That actually explains a lot! I'm also Canadian and yeah, we do sometimes get the "these pockets suck" thing, but... not as much, in my personal experience, as I've seen Americans complain about it. I don't usually have a hard time finding jeans with decent enough pockets - even when I'm shopping at a chain store that originated in America. Oddly enough, I own a pair of denim shorts I bought in America, which I love, they're really pretty, but holy fuck, the pockets were not designed with a smartphone in mind. They'll hold anything else alright. But I'm always worried about my phone, whenever I stick it in there, for a sec.

I'm the Canadian commenting above you, and I don't really think this is the issue. When I complain about pants with no pockets, I'm not complaining because it's hard to find pants with decent pockets. I'm complaining because there are as many pants as there are without pockets. Because fuck that. The companies that make and design clothes don't seem to have any problems grasping the concept that pockets are a necessity when they're designing men's pants. But then they make women's pants and it's like, "Oh, lets leave out pockets so we can shave that tiny extra bit of bulk off her silhouette. Because she totally won't mind having her loose change rattling around in the bottom of her purse where she can't find it when she needs it, if it means her hips look a millimeter slimmer!"

Or what if I want to go out without bringing a purse, because all I need for that outing is my phone/money/keys...but then my stupid dumbass pants force me to carry a purse anyway, because I HAVE NO POCKETS.

It's rage inducing.

I guess it could be annoying, yeah. Personally, I rarely use my pockets for anything but VERY temporary storage. Usually stuff I'm just going to grab again in a few minutes and don't want to have to root around in my purse for.

I'm also the kind of person who literally NEEDS a purse of sizable holding, because I how much I tend to bring with me, "just in case" (I like a purse that can fit a whole light jacket in it, and still have room) - and the random things I usually tend to acquire along the way.

I know, I fit pathetically into gender roles - but I feel like, if I were a guy, I'd still be the kind of human who hates leaving the house without a pile of totally unnecessary things that they probably won't use but, you know, might.
