As a woman, I find skirts super comfortable but with some major problems that don’t come up if you’re just hanging around the house.
The lack of pockets is extremely inconvenient. I’d be afraid of losing a purse with a wallet in it, so I basically can’t go out in a skirt unless it’s cool enough out that it’s reasonable to wear a jacket (since those have pockets). There do exist skirts with acceptable pockets, but the selection is very small and if you’re as cheap as I am there just aren’t any options.
Some skirts (not all!) restrict leg motion enough to make it inconvenient to bike or run.
This is one of the things I have wondered about: Why there are no skirts with pockets. But I guess the reason is that there is already a completely well accepted solution: Handbags.

I’ve found a number of pocket-bearing skirts in thrift stores for very cheap.
