They’re useful too since you can put your hands into them when you don’t know what to do with them in an awkward social situation. Or just simply, when you feel cold.

They can also work like an undercover agent when you want to hide stuff or store something for an emergency. Need a quarter for the jukebox? Don’t worry—your pockets have you covered!

“There are several ways to solve the problem: redesign the garment with a looser fit, secure the fabric with a zipper or button closure, relocate the pocket, or, here’s the big one… redesign the pocket shape.”
