The best dresses with pockets: Five stylish daywear fits you will love

Every woman knows the feeling of realising a dress she loves also has pockets. It’s a phenomenon only fellow bathroom-line whisperers truly understand is worth celebrating.

We’ve all had that moment of reaching down our side for a pocket that just isn’t there, and it’s genuinely devastating. So here are dresses for women who need a daywear fit that’s practical enough for the school run or a busy day at work, yet glam enough to carry into an evening out.

To some, a pocket dress might sound like the casual option. But designers have been listening, and now we can have practicality without sacrificing style.

There are plenty of ways to elevate a pocket dress- draping necklaces, stacked rings, and other statement staples all help polish the look, so you get the function of a hidden pocket with a fit that’s ready for any occasion.
