    Fun fact a lot of times the pockets aren’t fake, but sewn shut. This helps keep the shape of the garment until it’s been sold.

    i think this practice exists to showcase clothing as more stylish than competitor brands. the main theory would be that people put things in their pockets which causes the pockets to buldge and display a less-than-perfect body shape. so clothing designers felt that they could get a competitive edge(and make ppls bodies look more shapely)… by removing the option of pockets altogether.
