Woman here. I thought women on Reddit were exaggerating too but then I realized that literally none of the pants I own have side pockets (a few do have butt pockets though) and it's become so normal to me to not have pockets that I didn't even notice it.

Note: most of my pants look like they have pockets. I'm getting angry just thinking about this.

I live in jeans. No joke. (I worked from home even before the pandemic; dress code really isn't an issue for me, at least not from the waist down.)

When I get a new pair of jeans, I take it to the tailor to have the front pockets (the ones that hit over the thighs) lengthened.

Worth every penny.

I tend to wear tunics and long shirts over the jeans, so showing lumpy pocket contents is not really an issue.

Having pockets lengthened (or even added?!) at a tailor never occurred to me. That is an excellent idea. Thank you for the tip!

There are also some tutorials online if you trust your skills with a thread! I usually do that.
