How do you store your phone when you don't have a pocket or bag?

Do you want to leave the house without a bag , but your clothes don't have pockets? But you still want to take your phone with you ?

This article will explain how to do it.

If you look in your closet, chances are you'll find some clothes without pockets (or with very small ones). It could be a dress, a pair of sweatpants, or a chic jacket...

Without pockets, it can be difficult to take your phone with you anywhere. Especially if you choose not to carry a bulky handbag or a backpack that doesn't match your outfit.


After reading this article, you will know how to:

  • Trapping Your Phone in Clothing (and Why It's Not a Good Idea)
  • Keep your phone close to your hand with accessories
  • Carry your phone across your body in style

Here we go! We stay connected, even if we're without a handbag, and we're wearing something that doesn't have pockets!



Method 1: Trap it in clothing

How do you store your phone when you don't have a pocket or bag?

There are 3 ways to carry your phone in your clothes.


1 / Some bras are specially designed with pockets that can be used to store phones, ID cards, or other valuables. These are often used when running, but they are not practical if you need to check your phone regularly .


Additionally, storing your phone in your bra is not without risks. In addition to the risks associated with electromagnetic waves, it is also not recommended to wear your phone directly on your skin, as this can cause skin irritations linked to bacteria.


2/ Another solution is to put it in a sock . It should be long enough to surround the entire phone and not too tight so as not to hurt you. This method remains a backup solution, because you obviously wo n't be able to check your messages by keeping it near your feet.


3/ If you have a long-sleeved garment that is tight enough, you can tuck your phone into one of your sleeves . This keeps it hidden and within reach, but you risk losing your phone if it falls out while you are distracted and don't notice it.

Luckily, there are accessories that prevent you from dropping your phone and they look like jewelry.

Method 2: Use a phone charm

Rings and bracelets to hold phones


The Rings

Do you know the rings?

These are those little devices that stick to the back of your phone.

The ring allows you to slip a finger in and have a firm and secure grip on your device . They also act as a support by rotating 360 degrees and allowing you to adjust the angle of installation.

It's the ideal accessory for watching videos and keeping your smartphone in your hand without fear of dropping it.

You can find phone rings in lots of different styles , from the most understated to the most girly.


The bracelets

Phone straps also allow you to secure your phone in style. These accessories look like real pearl jewelry.

Whether you call them charms, charms, wrist straps, or phone jewelry, the principle remains the same. A thread is tied through the hole in the phone case and the bracelet is slipped around your wrist .

You can even use a ring and a bracelet on your phone at the same time, to ensure you have a secure hold. Plus, it will personalize your device to suit your style.

For those for whom freedom of movement is essential, and who cannot bear having their hands full, there is a third solution.
