@studiousme you could say side pockets or back pockets. That's much better than pant pockets.

@Skyknightwarrior So “side pockets” are in the front of the pants, and “back pockets” are in the back of the pants, right?

@Skyknightwarrior Ok. Can I ask when you mean the front pockets of the pants, you would say “side pockets” or simply “pockets”?
I slid my hands into my (side) pockets.
I slid my hands into my (side) pockets.
- English (US)
@studiousme people will get the idea that you are talking about front pockets. That's were hands mostly slides in.
But then again, there is back pockets too. Some may get confused, so you can say side pockets.

@Skyknightwarrior Thank you! If we don’t include “pants” and say “pant pockets”, would people think I’m talking about the coat/jacket pockets?
- English (US)
@studiousme no it's not. Pants are garments for legs only. USA calls it pants and UK calls it trousers.

@Skyknightwarrior Sorry, I didn’t make that clear. I mean, if I just say “I slid my hands into my pockets”, would people think I’m talking about the coat/jacket pockets? Because I didn’t include “pants” in this sentence.

@studiousme when the sentences says "l slid my hands in my pockets" It generally means the side pockets".
For example: I feel very cool when I slid my hands in my pockets.
But sometimes to be more specific in certain conversation. Then you have add "side pockets".
For example: I slid my hands in my side pockets to check my keys.

@Chillyapples Thanks. How would you most likely word the sentence? You would use “pant” or “pants” in this blank?
“I slid my pants into my ____ pockets”
“I slid my pants into my ____ pockets”
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@Skyknightwarrior Thank you! What if I said simply “I slid my hands into my pockets”? Would this make you think I’m talking about the side pockets?
- English (US)
you can just say pockets because most people only put their hands in those pockets
