20 Minutes into the Future, we've gone Crystal Spires and Togas, everything is decked out in this nice futuristic Zeerust, and everybody wears spandex that has no pockets. Why? Surely fashion hasn't changed so much that we've outmoded all methods of carrying things aside from our hands (or Victoria's Secret Compartment/Trouser Space/Hammerspace), right? Wouldn't the engineers at least want a nice, functional Utility Belt? Why not a European carry-all, especially in parody settings? In reality, pockets are a relatively recent invention, and if Speculative Fiction is any indication, they'll only be a fad. For the opposite trope, see Zipperiffic. |

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (with Gil Gerard) suffers from this. Men and women wear skin-tight uniforms that don't permit pockets — but look really good on Erin Gray. | |

The Boys (2019). Superheroes have this problem too, as Stormfront points out when she has to stop and get her mobile from her purse. This turns out to be a problem when Starlight has to hide a vial of Compound V she's smuggling out of Vought Industries shortly after this conversation, but she has nowhere to put it. |

Freefall: Subverted. Florence, an Uplifted Animal who is programmed with a variety of human safeguards, checks for clothing first when trying to determine if someone is human or not. After all, with genetic engineering, cybernetic modification, and just plain evolution, it's nearly impossible to be sure what humans will eventually turn into—but they'll probably still want pockets. | |

The uniforms in Space: 1999 all lack pockets. Apparently the only pieces of personal equipment that need to be carried around at all times are the ray gun and communicator which are hung from the belt. | |

In The Night Mayor, the standard form of clothing in Susan's time is a one-piece outfit with no pockets. When she has to dress in a 1940s outfit for plot reasons, it's the first time she's ever worn clothes with pockets, and she's struck by how useful they are. | |

Gems clothing in Steven Universe tends to be form-fitting and never has pockets. Usually if they need to carry something, they'll store it inside their gem, or through more esoteric methods (Peridot had electronics integrated into her Limb Enhancers, and later MacGyvers an arm strap for a tablet; Aquamarine's Magic Wand folds up and sits on her head like a hair bow). | |

The Vault Suits in Fallout are lacking in pockets while all prewar clothing have the normal amount. Somewhat justified in the case of the Vault Suits, as in a Vault anything needed would never be more than a few minutes away and there's only a finite amount of space to lose something. | |

Star Trek: With a few minor exceptions, Starfleet uniforms are usually sleek, form-fitting one- or two-piece outfits without pockets. When crew are seen with equipment, they're either carrying them in their hands or have them clipped to a belt. Likewise, the Space Clothes of civilian make often take the form of jumpsuits or robes that also typically lack pockets. The rationale is that they don't need pockets as there's no money in the Federation, and keys are irrelevant when you have voice-activated doors. Of course this causes a problem when a character has to carry something plot-related—in "A Matter of Honor", Riker has to carry a Tracking Device, so he puts it in his boot. | |

Magic by the Numbers series: When one of the characters is in training at the Cycloid Guild, he's perplexed that none of the robes worn by guild members — not even the masters' black ones — have pockets. Possibly justified, as the rituals of the Guild have such exacting requirements that one might be inadvertently spoiled if a participant carelessly left an object in their pocket that was incompatible with the ritual's underlying geometries. | |

In PlanetSide 2, the Vanu Sovereignty - a group of precursor worshipers - have zero pockets on pretty much all of their classes courtesy of them all wearing spandex armor. Their Engineer does have pockets in the form of what appears to wildly impractical metal suspenders. Averted by the more down-to-earth Terran Republic and New Conglomerate, both of whom feature copious amounts of pockets on their fatigues and utility belts on their support classes. | |

In the book, Skunk Works, Lockheed engineer Ben Rich had the workers coveralls redesigned to remove pockets. When building a Cool Plane, sometimes workers would lose pens and tools or the items would rub against the airframe as they crawled around. | |

Doctor Who has certainly been guilty of this, those less so from Season 23 to the present. Possibly mocked by the 2006 Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride"- "Guess what I've got, Donna? Pockets!' | |

Blake's 7 has the same problem despite the more flamboyant look of the protagonists, which caused the actors to make the Obligatory Joke about where they kept some bomb or device that hadn't been seen in their hands when they teleported down to the planet. | |

In GURPS Transhuman Space pockets are out of fashion, because things like keys and wallets are entirely virtual. According to Toxic Memes, however, the popularity of the pocketless "eloi suit", as more and more people have virtual implants, has meant that, in the way of such things, the real fashionistas have started seeing it as out of date. | |
