About Pocket Day (Car Keys and Small Change)
United States
Ends: Feb 28, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
"Car Keys and Small Change Day," also fondly known as "Pocket Day," is an observance that highlights the often-overlooked features of our everyday clothing: pockets. This day reminds us of the convenience and practicality pockets bring daily, especially for carrying essentials like car keys and small change.
Pockets originated in the 17th century in men's clothing, initially as small pouches or bags worn beneath their garments. Over time, these pouches evolved into sewn-in pockets, becoming a standard feature in male attire. For women, however, the journey of pockets in clothing has been notably different.
Historically, women's clothing often lacked pockets or featured tiny, impractical ones. This disparity originated from societal norms and fashion trends. In earlier centuries, women's fashion emphasized silhouettes and shapes that did not accommodate pockets. Moreover, carrying a purse or a handbag was seen as a symbol of femininity and status, thus diminishing the need for pockets in women's clothing.
The lack of functional pockets in women's attire has often been discussed and criticized in modern times. Advocates for equality in fashion argue that this disparity is not just a matter of convenience but also practicality and empowerment. The movement for more and better pockets in women's clothing has gained momentum, reflecting a growing demand for functionality and equality in fashion design.
"Car Keys and Small Change Day" or "Pocket Day" is more than just a nod to a helpful feature in our clothing; it's a day that brings attention to the historical and ongoing discussions about gender differences in fashion. It reminds us of the evolution of clothing and the importance of considering both practicality and style in design. This day encourages us to appreciate the small yet significant aspects of our daily attire and to continue advocating for functional and equitable fashion for all.
