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.
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.
This article was written to explain to men what should and can be kept in suit pockets. After reading this article you will have some new ideas you can use to make your pockets look less stuffed.
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.
Pants can hide items in back pockets if the jacket is to cover the back pockets and you are comfortable with the way items feel when sitting on them. Remember that overstuffed back pockets will still bulge through a jacket at times.
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.
