The Best Slim Wallets for Men Living in the Modern, Minimalist Money-Carrying Era
The best slim wallets for men reimagine what everyday carry looks (and feels) like. Why schlep a bevy of cards, cash, and receipts? Lightening the load is liberating.
If you're like most men, you've probably got a leather bifold busting at the seams and maybe even a money clip stuffed with bills because you can't fit everything in one place. It's time to streamline and invest in something new.
Minimalist wallets cut down on what you carry around because of the simple fact they won't allow you to pack in stuff you don't need. Like cleaning out your closet, this forces you to edit down to the bare essentials. No more business cards you'll never hand out, expired coupons, or sandwich shop loyalty cards. Swapping traditional leather for metal—a common sight among slim wallets today—slims things down as well while offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
But what if you still like to carry cash? That's a smart move, especially when traveling—but the modern crop of thin wallets can still accommodate a few bills. None will hold nearly as much as that faded, leather bifold wallet, but they also won't stretch out like leather or stealthily grow to the size of a quarter-pounder burger either. Slip one of these stylish, minimalist wallets in your back pocket instead.
