# Bloomingdale's Pocket Silhouette (if applicable) Field Guide

> Five, four, faux-pocket styles. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Pocket Silhouette (if applicable)** is an optional feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's bottoms department. It names the overall pocket styling of a pair of jeans, pants or shorts in one stock phrase: five-pocket, four-pocket or faux pockets. Bloomingdale's shows it in the details section of the product page. It sits next to a second, more detailed pocket bullet in the same department, [Pockets & Location (if applicable)](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb3-womens-bottoms), which counts and places each pocket; this one only names the silhouette.

## The rules

| Rule | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Women's bottoms |

Bloomingdale's attribute definition names the accepted silhouettes as five, four and faux-pocket styles, and Osello writes them as "Five-pocket styling", "Four-pocket styling" or "Faux pockets". A garment with no pockets leaves the field blank. Pockets stitched shut for shipping are still functional and do not make the style a faux-pocket style.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Five-pocket styling | Good | The classic jean silhouette |
| Four-pocket styling | Good | Two front, two back, no coin pocket |
| Faux pockets | Good | Decorative pockets only |
| Two front slant pockets, one back welt pocket | Weak | The detail belongs in Pockets & Location |
| Pockets | Weak | No silhouette named |
| 5 pocket | Weak | Not the stock phrase |
| Functional pockets in every wash. | Weak | A sentence with a period, no silhouette |

## Common mistakes

- Listing every pocket here. Counts, types and locations go in Pockets & Location.
- Writing "Faux pockets" because the back pockets arrived stitched shut. Shipping stitches do not make a pocket faux.
- Filling the field on a pocketless legging or skirt. Leave it blank.
- Ending the phrase with a period.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Pocket Silhouette (if applicable) as an optional parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a women's bottoms listing is filled in, the AI reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one of the stock silhouette phrases when the garment has pockets. Trousers with a pocket layout that is neither five- nor four-pocket, such as a pair with two slant pockets only, are described in Pockets & Location and this field is left blank. The value is set once per style and shared by every size and colorway. See [how Osello AI fills listing fields](/help/ai-prompts/how-osello-ai-fills-listing-fields) and [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Pocket Silhouette required for women's bottoms on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional and stays blank on garments without pockets.

### What is the difference between Pocket Silhouette and Pockets & Location?

Pocket Silhouette names the styling in one stock phrase, such as "Five-pocket styling". Pockets & Location counts each pocket and says where it is and whether it is functional.

### My jeans have back pockets stitched shut. Are they faux pockets?

No. Pockets stitched closed for shipping are functional once opened, so the style is still five- or four-pocket styling.

### What do I enter for trousers with two slant pockets and nothing else?

Leave this field blank and describe the pockets in Pockets & Location.
