What is a "pocket"?

A pocket is a small pouch or container that is usually sewn onto the outside or inside of a garment, such as pants, jackets, or shirts. The main purpose of a pocket is to provide a convenient storage space for small personal items, such as keys, wallets, or cellphones, and to keep them easily accessible. There are many different types of pockets, including patch pockets, welt pockets, zippered pockets, and hidden pockets. The size, shape, and location of a pocket can vary depending on the design of the garment and the intended use of the pocket. Pockets can also be decorative elements on clothing, adding texture and visual interest to an outfit.
