Women's clothing at the time of the Rational Dress Society (1880s) was beginning to shift moving from huge pockets, to adopting menswear integrated pockets. Older pockets were typically little bags that were worn under the dress[1].
Modern people interested in historical costuming and clothing are trying to bring back the pocket[2]. Bernadette Banner also has a video on the history of pockets in women's clothing[3].
Personally, I don't care about pockets in pants--pockets in skirts/dresses are where it's at.

- ozim 4y agoLately I tested if waist bag is much more convenient than pants pockets. It really is. When sitting in car or walking having my phone in it is much more comfortable. Especially with larger phones. Unfortunately for me it is connected to shady people so I have mental block with just wearing it. Other downside is that it would be easier to steal it from me with all stuff in it or from it. Though I usually move in areas where there ar no or not that many pickpockets.
