24 Dresses That Do Double Duty With Pockets

We all know the feeling — you order a dress from your favorite fashion brand or store for a little inspiration. Maybe you had a recent windfall, and you’re finally ready to try on that springy shift that’s been following you around Instagram for weeks. You eagerly open the package, and slip it on. You twirl. So far, so good! Then comes the make or break moment: you instinctively reach for the side seams to slide your hands into —

Nothing. You are wearing a dress with no pockets.

Turning back to the mirror, you contemplate. The item in question is so cute, and you can definitely envision it on weekly rotation in your spring outfit lineup; or subtly wowing all of your friends when you finally have that long-needed IRL reunion. But are you really going to commit to a dress without pockets? Nowhere to slide a phone, a business card, a dry cleaning receipt? Nowhere to put your hands while you need to look unbothered, nowhere to hide excess buttons, or the too-heavy earrings you had to take off in the middle of the day? You must be realistic.

Friends, this sense of disappointment ends today. Sure, a frock can function without hiding places, but the best ensemble is the one that’s cute, affordable, and does what you need it to do — all with pockets sewn into the side seam or patched visibly to the front. And there’s no shortage of such garments out there — you just have to know where to look. Luckily, we do; so we rounded some of the best warm-weather dresses out. And rest assured, your hands will have somewhere to go with all of these options.
