How To Fill A Suits Pockets

By Victor Santerino

Men's suits tend to have a multitude of pockets to choose from. These include two front and two back trouser pockets, three front jacket pockets, and usually one or two inside jacket pockets.

Unfortunately many of the pockets that are on suits are for fashion purposes and should never actually be used. The reason for this is because a jacket or trouser can quickly look stuffed and misshapen.

I wrote this article to let men know where to put their gear and how to do it in a way that does not look terrible. Upon finishing this article you will know what to do with your items each time you are forced to carry them.

Keeping your pockets completely devoid of any items is the best way to keep them looking sharp. This may be accomplished by using your coat to store your gear rather than your suit.

For men that do not have the option of using a jacket to store their belongings in a jacket there is help. However, you will still be relegated to keeping most of your items out of your jacket.

The first thing to keep in mind is that you will not be able to store anything other than a pocket square in your outside jacket pockets. Inside pockets can be utilized, but only for thin items that will not be visible 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.

The use of front pant pockets is acceptable, but only for thin items that will not cause too much bulk. Place items such as money clips and cell phones in these front pockets to keep them safe. - 15995
