I'm curious as to why you're going out for what might become a longer ride, without a phone, food, repair kit, etc.? What are these "sports clothes" that don't have pockets? As they say, the right tool for the job.
Gym shorts, technical running shirt, sure you've got jerseys but sometimes a random combination has no pockets. And if you ride somewhere to run, or to a gym, chances are you aren't wearing a cycling jersey.

I personally prefer the smallest seat wedges and they don't really have extra room for keys. I could cram them in maybe but it would be a pain AND, once or twice in enough rides I have accidentally left one not fully zipped and dropped small items from it. I wasn't kidding, I put netting on bottle cages, usually storing my sunglasses there. I can stuff gloves there, rain jackets even, coins. The netting keeps things from bouncing out, and of course a bottle on top locks everything in. It is, IMO, an effective, unobtrusive and convenient solution to OP.
