Pocket Accessories For A Man's Suit

By Victor Santerino

When a man buys a suit he usually does not have to concern himself with the number of pockets that will be available. This is because the jacket and trousers combine to have anywhere from 7 to 12 pockets stitched into them.

The problem with these pockets however, is that most of them are not functional, meaning they cannot be used. For instance stuffed jacket pockets always seem to make the jacket look misshapen and even trouser pockets can fall victim to the stuffed pockets look.

Reading this article should give you a good idea of where to place your crucial items when wearing your suit. Pay careful attention as you read each paragraph and you will undoubtedly learn something new.

The best way to keep pockets from looking full is to not use them. This can be achieved in cold climates by using your coat pockets exclusively. I do not recommend this tactic for anybody that might be at risk of having their jackets looted.

Men that dare not put items in coats for the nightmare of having their items stolen, need to be careful how they put their items in their suits. Also many men cannot use coats because they are wearing their suits in temperate weather.

Outer jacket pockets should never be used to put gear into. However, the inside pockets can be used if the item in question will not look like a lump showing through the jacket.

Trousers with back pockets can be used to hide items when the jacket is worn. The use of this method however, is only good when a man knows he will not be taking off his jacket.

Front trouser pockets can be used sparingly when necessary. Thin items like cellular phones, wallets, and money clips are acceptable items to place in front pant pockets. - 16651
