Lehengas With Pockets? Yes Please!

Women bearing discomfort in the name of looking good is a tale as old as time—wearing super uncomfortable high heels that could be a round in a survival show, wearing backless lehengas in the dead of winter, or earrings that weigh more than their phone. Convenience doesn’t seem to be high on the priority list for people designing for women, if it makes the list at all, that is. Another case in point: the fact that lehengas (or any of women’s clothes) don’t have pockets. As lovely as getting our significant others to carry our stuff in their pockets sounds, we would rather have outfits with pockets. While we love cute clutch bags or potli bags, sometimes we wish our beautiful lehengas had pockets too. So, here are our picks for the most beautiful lehengas that come with pockets to help you carry your phone, lip gloss, mascara, safety pins, and an extra pair of earrings “just in case”!

If you wish to dial up the drama as a bridesmaid, we suggest this pastel lehenga from Falguni Shane Peacock that comes with the lovely bow on the band of the skirt. You can wear it as it is, or drop the jacket and pair the skirt only with the bralette, given that micro-blouses are having a major moment right now.

We don’t know about you, but we are forever in love with the color aubergine purple.
