Skirts with pockets

A skirt pocket has to hide in the seam, hold a phone, and not wreck the swing. These do. No costume flaps. No two-inch welts.

EXLURA Polka Midi

Pleated midi skirts like to pretend a seam opening is a pocket. These have bags on both sides, and they’re big — reviewers keep phones in them. High waist puts the opening where your hands already go.

I LOVE the pockets and can keep my phone in it they are so big.

Zeagoo Pleated Midi Skirt

Same test as the dress version of this silhouette: pockets in both side seams, high enough to use without hiking the skirt. You can put a phone and keys in without the A-line going stiff.

You can put small things like mobile phone keys into it.

Stretch Is Comfort Scoop

This is the unglamorous skirt I respect: mid-length, flare, actual pockets. Reviewers get loud about them because most skirts in this price range don’t bother. The pockets are large enough for phones, which is the whole site in one garment.

I love that it has pockets also!!!! Pockets that are large enough for phones.

Stretch Is Comfort A-Line

A-line skirts often advertise pockets and deliver a thumb slit. These are side-seam pockets large enough for phones and the rest of a day’s small pile. The review I trust most is the shortest: cute, cheap, and pockets.

Side seam pockets large enough to hold phones and everyday necessities.
