Old Navy drops more dresses with pockets — 15 to shop

It's a safe bet that there's one thing dress wearers everywhere can agree on: A dress with pockets is infinitely better than one without. In fact, we'd bet all of our favorite maxis and A-lines on it. And, according to Old Navy, we'd be right.

Based on a February 2023 Material study the brand sent us, that surveyed 517 women, over 50 percent of them said "their favorite go-to dresses in their wardrobes have pockets." And why wouldn't they? They're reliable spots to fit your phone, keys, lip gloss and other essentials, especially for those who can't be bothered to carry around a purse (which happens to be "nearly 9-in-10" of the women). Pair those convenient mini compartments with an adorable frock, and you've got yourself the perfect one-and-done outfit.

Well, Old Navy will do you one better. The retailer just announced that it is doubling its pocket-clad, size-inclusive dresses, giving you more options to shop that effortlessly combine style and functionality. And you've got to see the range of options they have — we've seen everything from waist-defining numbers and fit-and-flares to shift dresses and mini swing skirts, all finished with ... you guessed it, pockets!

So, if you happen to agree with the 71 percent of women who said "discovering that a new frock has pockets is an instant mood booster," we suggest shopping fast, because these dresses, and your chance of a serotonin kick, are going fast. Plus, check out a few other pocket dress options from other retailers below — different styles, same pocket convenience.
