How To Fill A Suits Pockets

By Victor Santerino

Men who buy suits quickly discover that they have a wide array of places they can seemingly store their gear. Between the jacket and trousers a man is looking at between seven and twelve pockets to choose from.

However, for the most part these pockets should be used sparingly, if at all. This is because over stuffing suit pockets can and will lead to the suit looking like it is stuffed or even poorly made.

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.

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.

Back trouser pocket can be used when the jacket will be constantly on to hide the back of the pants. This is a great way to keep the bulk out of site, but not out of reach.

When absolutely necessary you should use your front two trouser pockets to hold items like wallets and cell phones. Be sure to take all non-essential items out of your wallet to make it as flat as possible. - 16083
