It is never easy planning your night out - do you take the umbrella and a jacket or do you take a gamble and head out light.
But for most of us there are the essentials that we cannot do without, whether it is your wallet or purse and of course your keys. However most nighttime revellers can struggle to find a safe place for their keys - especially if your outfit is a pair of tight jeans.
Even if you have some baggy pockets in your 90’s looking jean pockets, busting an over zealous move or reaching in and pulling your wallet out can mean they are strewn across the dance floor.

If you are trying to have a good time with friends and enjoy a drink, the last thing you want to be worrying about is your keys. But lucky for us, a genius woman has come up with a ‘life hack’ that she uses to ensure her jets are secured safely, the Mirror reports.
Posting to TikTok as @apple_brat, a savvy bar-goer named Mia shared her advice. She demonstrated how to secure keys using a spring hook, in a video posted with audio saying: "Show me the life hack that you randomly saw one day that is now an unconscious standard practice in your life."
Mia then reveals the inside of her trouser pockets to show that she has fastened her keys to a metal clip through a hole in the material.
"If you are a girl in college and don't want to lose your keys at the bar...just cut a hole in your pocket," her onscreen caption advised.
And viewers loved the video, which has racked up over 800,000 views.
One person commented: "Woah, this is smart." Another agreed: "Genius." And a third thought: "This is good."
However, not everyone was so convinced, questioning why she did not use the belt loop.
But people were quick to point out the benefits of the creative approach, claiming it not only looks better but makes it more difficult for anyone attempting to steal your keys.
Many also shared their own suggestions or variations of the trip. "I attach the keys to a carabiner that I attach to my belt loop and then shove the key part into my pocket," read one comment.
Someone else wrote: "This is great idea...I think maybe one could use a strong piece of string and sew a loop into the inside of the pocket? that way there won't be a hole."
