There was a time when wallets seemed to get bigger and bigger each year. We stuffed so many things inside of them. They had to grow and expand to accommodate our stuff. Instead of just carrying money, they soon had to carry our IDs, our most cherished photographs, our credit cards, our calling cards, and other items that the just had to carry with us every day. However, now people barely use cash, photos are digital, and we add each other on social media instead of swapping calling cards. With fewer items to carry, the only thing that we really need is a thin card wallet.
Home for Essentials
These wallets only have a few slots for essentials. Rather than being a limitation, one can think of it as an advantage as it forces you to really think about what you need to carry around and what you can leave at home. Most people realize that they could do with so much less. The initial concerns fade away and they start to love the shift to minimalism. Most people will bring one or two credit cards, their drivers license, and perhaps a bit of cash for emergencies. You can fill up more slots if you wish.
Slim and Pocketable
These wallets are designed to reduce bulk. While there are folding options, most are two-sided containers with a few flat sleeves. Just slide the cards in each sleeve where they will remain visible at all times. Others have an opening at the side to welcome new items. In any case, they are also much slimmer than the typical wallet even when full. This makes them highly pocketable and you won’t even feel the bulk. Neither will others so this is a great option for tourists who are visiting crowded sites that are known for theft and other shenanigans. Keep your wallet in a front pocket so you will be able to guard it better.
Lightweight Solution
With the slim profile and minimal contents, thin card wallet are so light that you barely feel their presence. They won’t get in the way if you need to move about. Even runners can take these in their morning runs if they have a running belt pouch or a hydration vest. Cyclists should also be able to find a compartment at the back of their shirt or inside of their cycling bags. These are handy for emergencies or when you simply need money to buy food or drinks along your route.
