Clodagh Finn: More pockets in women’s clothes, please

'Miserable faux pockets that aren’t sewn shut are  another fashion abomination that has robbed us of the instant access to a well-made pocket.'

Oh, for a dress with pockets. Those hidden folds of wonder that allow us to keep what is important close — a personal charm, a well-sharpened pencil, a tampon, a penknife, a piece of sea glass, emergency biscuits or a crumpled receipt with a scribbled note-to-self.

Turn out a woman’s pockets and you will see what she deems necessary to get her through the day.
