LONG GONE are the times when a man had to carry his whole life in his wallet. So many things that used to be stored in wallets have gone digital and now live on our phones or somewhere in the cloud. All you need to do is keep your ID, debit card and/or credit cards or work pass in your pocket.
That’s why some of the best men’s wallets have shrunk. Slim wallets these days aren’t much bigger than the cards they hold and fit comfortably in any trouser pocket. The simpler designs are made for true minimalists who only need an ID and a couple of cards. Then there are more innovative models with deceptively large capacities for multiple cards, cash and other items.
Some of the wallets on this list have gone old fashioned and are little more than folded, artistically stitched leather. Others use modern fabrics and technology such as RFID protection. What they all have in common is that they look pretty amazing. Ahead are today’s best slim wallets.
