Travel clothing with hidden pockets is not a new concept. Thankfully pickpocket-proof clothing for travel is now more practical, secure, and stylish than ever before.
You no longer have to stand out as a tourist, sacrificing your own personal style and comfort whilst trying to stay safe when you travel. The travel clothing market is now more fashionable than ever.
While comfort and practicality are still at the forefront of design, style is becoming an equally important factor in travel clothing lines. A trend that is also becoming more popular in the anti-theft bag market with stylish anti-theft backpacks designed specifically with women and fashion in mind.
Travel clothing companies now apply the same comfort and fashion-forward principles to anti-theft and pickpocket-proof clothing and accessories such as the often used, pickpocket-proof pants.

Staying Safe While You Travel
We believe some of the easiest ways to stay safe when you travel is in the preparation before you travel, being aware while you travel, and not drawing attention to yourself as an easy target.
The way you dress is just one way you can minimize your chances of any unwanted attention from thieves and pickpockets, especially in destinations like Marrakech in Morocco or the Bazaars of Istanbul.
We have rounded up some stylish anti-theft travel jackets that will see you through from sightseeing to dinner. Pickpocket-proof pants with classic and sleek lines.
Even some pocket worthy briefs that will keep more than the family jewels safe.
We have covered them all in this handy guide, separated into travel clothes for women and men for easy navigation.
How to Avoid Pickpockets
The easiest way to avoid pickpockets is to be diligent, especially in crowded tourist areas such as Rome or travelling across a country such as Morocco by train. These are just some of the things to consider when travelling.
- Keep bags close to you and zipped up — preferably worn crossbody, not over the shoulder. A good anti-theft travel handbag or anti-theft backpack is always a great travel investment. There are also lots of very stylish anti theft fanny packs and waist bags on the market now which can be worn around the waist or crossbody.
- Don’t flash lots of money around or wear fancy expensive jewellery or clothing arts. You will only attract attention to yourself.
- Discreet clothing that doesn’t scream tourist is always best. This is why the best pickpocket-proof clothing has discreet pockets and is styled similar to normal fashion trends.
- Don’t place anything of value in a pocket that does not close securely and preferably never in a back pocket.
- Be aware of people creating strange distractions, especially children and don’t allow people to crowd you unnecessarily.
- If an interaction with a stranger doesn’t feel right, it usually isn’t. Keep your distance.
Take Care of Your Own Belongings
Too often we see tourists walking around with bags gaping open, wallets and phones hanging out of their back pockets or even handbags swinging from a street-side restaurant chair. A common sight with visitors to Rome and Paris.
When these travellers lose something, their first thought is they have been pickpocketed.
More than likely they have. After all, these travellers have made themselves an easy target. However, it is often a case of things left behind, phones falling out of an open backpack, or cash falling out of a gaping side pocket.
SAFE TRAVEL FACT
Each day around the world, more than 400,000 travellers are targeted by pickpockets. Even more simply forget or misplace their valuables while they are travelling.
Anti-theft travel gear and pickpocket-proof clothing are only as good as you are careful with your belongings. It will stop a thief from slipping a hand in your pocket, but it can’t help you if you don’t zip up first.
Buying Guide for Pickpocket Proof Clothing For Travel
What is Pickpocket Proof Clothing?
Pickpocket-proof clothing is essentially a piece of clothing with functionality to prevent thieves from accessing and removing valuables from your person.
These features may include internal pockets, hidden pockets, or zippered pockets.
What features Should Good Pickpocket Proof Clothing Have?
- Good pickpocket-proof clothing doesn’t need to have lots of pockets, although many travel garments do. They just need to have at least one secure pocket.
- Pockets should be discreet, not like fashion cargo pants or shorts where the pockets are obvious and easy to access.
- Ideally, all secure pockets should have a zip closure, preferably a zip hidden in a seam or be virtually impossible for a thief to slip their hand in by way of a button closure tab or similar.
- Hidden pockets with secure closures.
Choosing the Right Pickpocket Proof Clothing for Travel
Many travel clothing companies will advertise garments with lots of pockets as an alternative to using your carry on baggage for travel essentials.
Do not confuse these albeit handy travel clothes for pickpocket proof clothing. Lots of pockets do not always equate to safe – just convenience.
Make sure the pickpocket proof clothing you choose is firstly comfortable and a design you like. The clothing will not keep your valuables safe if you don’t like wearing them.
When Choosing Anti Pickpocket Travel Wear Consider the Following:
Function
Check the garment has the pocket configuration you need and like.
There is no point buying a pair of travel pants with 15 pockets when all you need is two secure pockets for cash and passports. Or a travel jacket has 20 pockets, but none of them fit what you want to carry.
Once you have decided on a design, then check the quality of the secure pockets and make sure they suit the purpose – do you need to access the items regularly from the pocket or keep them stowed away for long periods?
These factors will determine the type of pockets you want or need.
Construction & Material
When choosing clothes for travel – comfort, wearability, and durability are paramount.
- Check the fabric and the design allows comfortable movement.
- Is the fabric breathable or does it have moisture-wicking?
- Is the garment quick-drying, is it water and stain repellant?
- Is the weight of the garment suitable for the climate you will be travelling to?
- Are the secure pocket closures high quality and reliable, e.g. zips or button closures?
Size
- Is the design suited for a flexible fit or is the cut right for you?
- Think about how much stuff you will want to carry in the pocket configuration and how that may affect the size you need.
Comfort
Again, think about breathable fabrics, stretch, and movability. Do the design and fabric allow for comfortable movement?
Will the design be comfortable and suitable for the type of travel you are doing?
Style
Is the style something you would usually wear? If not, maybe look for something more towards your style; otherwise, you may be inclined not to wear it.
Is the pickpocket proof features discreet in relation to the style and cut of the garment? The best pickpocket proof clothes are ones you don’t even realize are.

Tip
While we believe the infinity scarf with hidden pockets is a great travel safe addition to protect against pickpockets, it is not without some risk.
We see all too often travellers take a scarf off when they sit down in a restaurant or when the weather warms up and simply leave it behind. Remember, this scarf is a great pickpocket proof accessory when it is around your neck.
We advise using this in addition to pickpocket proof pants, shirt or t-shirt for really important or valuable items.
