I sewed the pocket on one leg and photoshopped it to mirror onto the other leg to see how it would look.

The straps run into the pockets to allow you to cinch down items that might flop around inside.
The cargo pocket can also be used to hold items when not expanded.
My only suggestion, as a 00s teen who wore as many leg chains as possible, is to not let those straps droop/flop between the legs. Find connection points in the strap or other sections of the pant, or even leave the length inside the pockets and keep the strap sewn downand secured around the leg.
Getting stuck on chairs, bus seats, myself, car seats, etc., was honestly very annoying. And since they are sewn in as they are, they will be extra annoying in the wash.
But the fashion ๐ญ you're right tho
