LONG GONE are the days when a man had to carry around his entire life in his wallet. So many of the items that were once stored in wallets have gone digital and now live on our phones or in a cloud somewhere. All you really need to keep in your pocket is is your ID, a bank card and or credit cards, or you work pass.

So that's why some of the best men's wallets have shrunk. Slim wallets today aren't much bigger than the cards they carry, and can fit comfortably into any pant pocket. Simpler designs are made for true minimalists who only need an ID and a couple cards. Then there are more innovative designs that have deceptively large carrying capacities for multiple cards, cash, and other objects.

Some of the wallets on this list have gone old fashioned and are little more than folded, artistically-stitched leather. Others utilize modern fabrics and technology like RFID protection. The one thing they all have in common is that they look pretty great. Ahead are the best slim wallets available today.

There are two compartments: a smaller easy access compartment for your most used cards and ID and a larger compartment that can hold more cards and cash. The lid is secured by a magnet closure that opens with an easy access thump slot. The exterior is leather and will age like a traditional wallet but the interior is a polymer that will keep its shape.
