In the Pocket

Pockets have become unsung heroes in fashion stitching together practicality and style. Functional, charming, and convenient, pockets are the most trendy of companions. No longer hemmed in by cumbersome bags, we can purse-sue fashion freedom! Simply wink and say-"Thanks, it has pockets!"

My models seems to be drawn toward using pockets when they have them. Like this 80s cafe race jacket with perforated suede trim


or this 50s rockabilly two tone large men's jacket


and this 70s leather moto jacket

the striping details of this 80s day dress by Ronnie Heller accent the large patch pocket


and I love the stand away patch pockets with flaps on this 50s gabardine sun dress by Jane Jordan
