Why Wear a Dress Without Pockets When You Can Wear One With Them?
As the title of this story so aptly sums up—can you guess who came up with it?—why wear a dress without pockets when you can wear a dress with pockets? I mean, I don’t know about you, but to me, there’s nothing better than leaving your purse at home, or on the table at an event and getting to covertly carry all your essentials around right there on your person so that whether you’re in dire need of chapstick or want to quickly snap a photo, it takes just seconds to retrieve whatever it is you’re looking for without even having to put your drink down.
Not only that, but pockets also give you somewhere to place your hands during said photo ops so you can avoid that awkward moment where you have no idea what to do with them. I even added them to my wedding dress because, again, why in the world not? To sum it up, whether they’re invisible to the naked eye, or an intentional aesthetic detail, pockets make any spring dress better, which is why I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites below. Happy shopping!
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
