I suspect a lot of women's fashion is designed around what men want to see unfortunately. I got myself a handbag shortly after transitioning due to losing the stuff I used to keep in my pockets all the time...
If you are short enough you can get pants in the juniors department with like 8000 pockets. Not the height of fashion, but comfy with those elastic waistbands and decently affordable.
This is why I almost exclusively wear doctor pants instead of jeans. They're comfy, stain resistant, have multiple deep pockets, and old people ask me for medical advice at the pharmacy.
i have a dress with pockets and i love it. they arent huge, just big enough for a phone or my hands, but having the option is so nice. the dress is even cute!
Okay so, perhaps a controversial opinion, but I don't actually like pockets on a lot of my clothes. Lounge clothes? Absolutely. Scrubs? Can't live without them. Clothes I wanna actually wear out? I'd rather use my purse. I don't personally like the look that pockets provide on some clothes, and I certainly don't like the way pockets look when there's something in them. I have dresses with pockets, and I could never use the pockets because I feel that they'd look awful.
But, I think there should be more options out there for other women do do want pockets. It's especially heinous on jeans, because those should have good pockets.

Women are something to drape things onto! Do stuff? Exist??? The only thing they should do is stand very still and look pretty!!
What do you mean I've confused a woman with a mannequin???
(How I think they must think)

Men largely do not give a shit lol.
There are women’s clothes out there that have all the things women say they want. They don’t buy it because they end up looking like a butch lesbian.

This isn't an appropriate remark to make anywhere but especially a women only community. Due to that I've had to ban you, and wish you all the best 💖

Finally we are seeing some women’s yoga pants with pockets. But how many years did it take for that to happen?

Why dont women with desires for larger pockets (and of course pockets in everything) do a kickstarter and start making some useful pants?
Surely it can sell.

Yeah, let's get right on creating a company to compete with the fashion industry.
The problem isn't pockets, it's the systemic biases in the fashion industry that lead to beauty taking precedent over utility.
Have you read the rules here?

Why don’t you try it first and tell us how successful of an idea that is?

Whenever a fellow lady compliments your clothing item, it is required to respond that it has pockets if it indeed has pockets then demonstrate.
(and when I say pockets, I mean your whole hand fits)

Fun fact: when women's fashion started doing this, men's took the logical opposite: so many pockets people would loose things in them

I prefer my dresses not have pockets.
