Why don't Women's pants have pockets?

Sorry, I thought I clarified originally that men's pants can't always fit women.
This is the correct response. I don't know a lot of women who don't ever want pockets (why wouldn't we want pockets for god's sake?) and the choice is often made for us. I have a pair that looked like there are pockets but when I wore them I realized they were fake. Wtf is that a thing?
Fanny packs are back tho
Nobody is going to stop you if you want to wear cargo shorts, jnco jeans, or elephant pants. But some people like looking a certain way in their clothes, they want their clothes to reflect or enhance certain features of their body, and so some clothes are designed for fit what might be called a "fashion sense" and not utility.

As a woman, we want pockets. We hate that our pants don't have functional pockets. It took forever to get pockets in dresses to be a standard feature and it's taking even longer to get regular pockets on pants.
The clothes industry decided that women shouldn't have pockets, not women lol

As mentioned by another poster, women's hips are a thing that exists. Buying men's pants works for women who have a figure approximating that of the men for whom those pants are designed, or, put another way, women who are less hourglass shaped. Women whose hips and legs are less pronounced can get away with wearing men's pants, but someone like my girlfriend whose waist may be roughly the same size as mine but whose hips and legs are much, much bigger than mine could not in a million years fit into even one of my pant legs. Men's pants are not an alternative for curvy or hourglass shaped women.
My SO shops for pants based on the pockets, there have been many times when she goes to wear a pair of older pants and the pockets can't even hold a quarter of her cell phone and she doesn't like carrying around a purse or bag. It seemed like an odd design choice until reading some of the comments that make it a bit more clear it's to buy that companies bags or have the pants shaped a certain way.
So they're forced to buy handbags and other bags. Womens fashion completely aboloshishs convience. It sucks becuase I can have about 5 pockets on my jeans and my gf has one on the back that's a fake fucking pocket.
WHY EVEN PUT A FAKE POCKET ON THE BACK?! JUST MAKE IT A BLOODY REAL ONE!

I don't know we're you live, but here in the USA the most common pants women were are jeans, so tight most of the time I doubt they can get there hands in the pockets but still they have pockets, the second most common pants are skin tight yoga pants and most of those even have at least one pocket.
I mean it's not like we don't want pockets one of the biggest complaints is the lack of designers making them. I have a rare gem of a skirt that actually has pockets and it's like my prized possession.
This is another thing. No pockets, but handbags the size of carry on luggage. Makes sense...
This woman I'm dating informed me about this a few weeks ago. I had no idea that most of women's jean pockets/pant pockets were fake and non functional unlike pockets on men's jeans which actually are real pockets
Just spoke with my wife and first thing she said was "But my pants have pockets..."
The I asked if they were like my pockets. She was like "No, they are smaller. Not sure why though."
We may have stumbled upon the greatest injustice of our time. Big Purse is keeping proper pockets from my wife's jeans.

I've been ordering special-treat dresses/skirts from eshakti.com, they do custom-fitting for $10 extra on any price and a lot of their items have sensible pockets (Check the descriptions though, not all do!).
Oh sick I'll have to go check that out. I've been meaning to upgrade my wardrobe with more clothes.
Pockets are extra fabric and they need to save on that fabric to charge more from them and make higher profits per square foot
This is a industry that repurposed pregnancy pants while also tearing down the sweatpants market

Hips aren't real they are inventions by men to hide the fact that they don't lie
Most women's pants seem to be form fitting, so pockets aren't terribly useful.
I guess it's preferable to be stylish than have a nice practical pocket. Bugs me when I have to hold my girlfriend's wallet because it doesn't fit in her pants and she won't carry a purse.

Is that a Costanza line? ive totally read that with George's voice.
How are the pockets on "mom jeans" (for lack of a better name)? It looks like a relaxed fit.
And I always thought people put the phone in the back pocket because it looks better; when you have things in your front pocket like keys, wallet, phone, as I do, it makes your appearance a little clumpy.
I actually think those jeans look really good.

My jeans have pockets. Usually pretty small ones though, can't even fit my phone. Some of the fancier pants either have teeny tiny unusable pockets or straight up fake ones!
I put it in the back cause you can't really sit with it in the front.
Nowadays yoga pants and dresses are getting pockets and it's the greatest.
Some days I wanna keep the purse at home.

Men's slim fit or skinny trousers and jeans have proper pockets, though. So should women's, no?
As a woman who hates purses and at most, will use a shoulder bag, this design decision infuriates me. The one time I tried and searched for some men's pants, the cuts were way too long, and just had a weird shape in general. I currently own one pair of pants with actual pockets, and I wear them often for that reason.
I hope I can find some actual decent fitting pants with real pockets again.
Oh, and yeah, simply buying men's pants is not a solution. Women tend to have a larger hip to waist ratio, and men's pants aren't going to be cut with that in mind, obviously. Women who dislike using purses will just have to suffer, or use fannypacks. Fucking sucks.

Somewhat. It sticks up high enough that I'm not really on it, and it's in a thick wallet case.
I usually just have it hanging off my wrist though.
I don't know if it was posted but here's a comparaison between men and women's pockets in the US.
It goes in depth with what can actually fit based on each jeans used for exemple.

I assume so that my fiance can keep forcing me to carry her keys/phone/chapstick/food/bicycle and whatever else uncomfortable crap she has in my pockets when we go out? In fact...this thread gives me an idea.
I think I need to start wearing women's pants.

My girlfriend always complained about never having pockets. She found a pair with pockets. Wore them once and never again because she thinks the pockets make her hips look chunky...
So now I have to carry all her shit. 😩

Haha yep same here. Half the shit in my pockets are never my own. I always hear "I'm going to leave my purse, put this in your pocket". People shit on cargo shorts but god damn do they hold a lot of my wife's shit.
