Work clothes for everyday wear

Lately my wife has gone on a kick about wearing work clothing for everyday life activities.  She especially likes wearing men’s work clothes.  She says that she can find a better fit in the pants because she can buy the pants by waist and inseam, which she can’t do with women’s clothing.  And the work wear tends to have good, deep pockets, which you can’t find in women’s clothes.  And she LOVES pocket!  She says she sure gets tired of dragging her purse around, and with the extra cargo pockets found in a lot of workwear clothing she can put most of her important stuff right on her and not worry about a purse!

I have to admit that I never really thought much about how women have to carry purses because their clothes don’t often have functional pockets in them.  I don’t think I’d like to be such a slave to fashion that I gave up my pockets either!  And I can certainly appreciate not wanting to lug a purse around – you always have to worry about it being stolen, or left behind, or where to put it where it won’t get too dirty or wet.  And men’s wear tends to be less expensive and last longer than women’s clothes too, which makes them a smart purchase!
