Formal or business casual situations makes this worse (and the depth of the pockets is also worse than jeans), because there are times when it's very inconvenient for me to carry a purse around - weddings, business meetings, career fairs, or anywhere where you have go get your bag checked by security. EDIT: the same problem applies to keys, which are just as essential. Would be great to be able to fit those in my pockets...

Carabiners. It's actually a method I developed working overseas to deal with an endemic pickpocket problem, but I use it all the time now. There are a wide variety of
wallets that come with or can be fitted with a key ring, and I just clip a carabiner through it and onto my belt loop. Wallet stills falls out of my pocket all the time, but it doesn't go anywhere. Works the same way separately or together for keys. In fact I do the same with my phone on the other side, using a phone case that has a lanyard. Makes the phone a bit (or a lot, depending on the case) bulkier, but it works--I've actually
felt people pickpocket me in a crowd and give up when I still had hold of the lanyard. Never goes anywhere no matter how wimpy the pockets are. (Now about women's pants that don't even have belt loops...)
