In a Cashless Age, You Still Need One of the Best Men's Wallets
Change was always a bit gross wasn't it; small lumps of metal that've been through an ungodly amount of hands with wildly different understanding of the term 'catch it, kill it, bin it'. Then Covid happened, and gross pound coins became vessels of wheezing plague. Our social lives weren't the only things going contactless.
Which has consequences for your wallet. Fewer coins from the £20 you broke at the pub, more options to go slimmer. They actually fit in your trouser pockets, which is great, and they're also lighter. Nobody wants to carry around two handfuls of rusty 2ps.
But you still need a wallet. A good one, ideally. After all, we all work hard for our money and our money should be given the recognition it deserves – and it deserves more than a Rip Curl wallet your seemingly blind relative bought nine Christmases ago. Drop the change and find one of the best men's wallets below.

3) Acne Studios
There's only so left-field you can go with a wallet. But, as a brand that's made a reputation out of being a little bit Nordic and unusual (in a good way), Acne Studios' cutout leather wallet hits just the right note for something slightly different.

5) Gucci
A bit fun, and a bit like a business card holder for a particularly fey vampiric hotel owner, Gucci's slim wallet adroitly compacts the brand's accidental Wes Andersonism into a solid cardholder.

6) Comme des Garçons
As a solid classic from Comme des Garçons, the zip-up coin wallet is teeny, teeny, tiny, but still big on the "oh yeah, I've had it ages" lie that you best-dressed mate always seems to pull.

8) Mulberry
The GOAT of fiiiiiine leather goods, there's a reason Mulberry leathers are so popular. Join the club with its heavy grain card wallet.

9) Prada
Before Prada made unreal Cuban collar shirts, it made unreal leathers – and they're still unreal (and coveted) as the bi-fold saffiano leather wallet can attest.
