So... you dress "like a man"?
Don't get me wrong, I like it. But, there should be a middle ground where someone can not completely abandon the modern standards of feminine clothing, while also having decently sized pockets. The problem seems to be that every time women are asked to choose between style and pockets they choose style. Every time it's between cost and pockets, they choose cost. If it's between availability and pockets, they choose the thing that's more easily available.
BTW, have you heard of Articles of Interest? It's a podcast from a former 99 percent invisible producer(?) who went on to make a podcast about clothing. The first episode is all about how military clothing came to influence almost all modern non-military clothing.
Motherfucker. Didn't realize I accidentally forgot a word, I'm a dude and not in the gender neutral way either. I was making a shit post about mine fucken appearance.
Was "Motherfucker" the world you forgot? If so, where does it go in that post?
No just a point of irritation. Pretty sure the area I forgot to note my gender in was where I was describing myself as looking like id steal an mrap. Pretty sure I forgot that due to a cat launching himself into my gut at top speed, his name is Barca and he inherited none of his namesakes intellect.
I personally look best in dresses with a fit and flare silhouette. It's so easy to sneak pockets in those, but often designers just refuse to. I've personally added some to off the shelf dresses, but now I'm pretty much having dresses made for me (surprisingly cheaper than one may expect).
My mom has clothes made for her too, often made in Eastern Europe. It's not exactly cheap, but neither were the off the shelf things she would otherwise be buying.
