Diagonal pockets

Clothes in recent history are often tailored with the intention to flatter the human figure, humanity see a need for this and there are many other devices that puch certain things up and other things in. Some people like this, others dont, but it is a booming industry.

On pants there are often pockets on the front on either side of your hip area, you fill then up with stuff and depending on what you are carrying, your legs appear to have unnatural growths on them where no growth's should be. But what if pockets sloped downwards diagonally? On men pockets fall down to the centre of the pants, and in in womans pant the pockets could direct your everdays things to the sides to make hips look fuller both solutions making one look healthier and more virile.

Additionally mens shirts often have pockets on the chest, and depending on the material and tailoring on the shirts, full pockets could draw associations with breasts- however, if instead pockets were sewn onto the bicep area of a shirt, it would make him appear more muscular.

Its not dishonesty, its just reararanging utility! Or at least thats what the marketers would try to say.

       If he had a deck of cards in there, he'd have some deformed-looking biceps, and even if the pocket somehow retained a muscular shape, you'd have to have the same thing in each bicep pocket or it would look like he uses that one hand a lot... and we all know what a guy with one arm bigger than the other uses that hand for.

       Your argument suggests that men's trousers should have a central, groinal, pocket.

       ROFLMAO..... touche, [hippo], touche. Not *quite* what I had in mind. How would you like to see a bunch of women walking around with lumpy breasts, looking like they've got cancer?

       "Your argument suggests that men's trousers should have a central, groinal, pocket."   

       absolutely, but the pants would still retain regular pant pocket openings so that they would meet the conventions of what pants should look like.
