Apart from wanting some protection for delicate body parts, *pockets* are
immensely useful even in a controlled environment. If anything, they're
more useful in free fall than on Earth: small objects don't just stay
where you put them unless restrained somehow, and it's less convenient to
just carry things because moving around requires using your hands as well
as your feet.

All it needs is a change in attitude... Modesty is learned and unnecessary.

In principle, yes. In practice, unlearning such attitudes is not easy;
people are not happy about it and won't do it without urgent need. And
given that you need pockets anyway...
