Is there really a best place to hold your wallet? You want someplace easy to access but where your wallet won’t fall out and hopefully hidden enough to deter pickpockets. Most people carry wallets in their back pocket, coat pocket or bag, but the best place to store your wallet is actually the front pocket, and there are a couple reasons why.
Front Pocket Wallets
Before we get into why a front pocket is the best place to carry your wallet, let’s get one thing out of the way. Size. Everyone’s first objection is that wallets don’t fit comfortably in the front pocket of most pants, and if you’re talking about a traditional bifold then you’d be right. Luckily, slim smart wallets are quickly making that leather trifold obsolete. These minimalist wallets organize everything you need into a vertical stack with a pop-up function so you can access the contents of your wallet at the click of a button. These wallets take up less than half the space of a normal wallet and fit easily into any pocket.
Now more about the benefits of front pocket wallets.
Where to Carry a Wallet to Avoid Pickpockets
Whether you’re on your way to work or traveling a foreign country pickpockets are common and usually good at their craft. Carrying a wallet in your back pocket makes you an easier target for pickpockets. Not only is your wallet literally behind your back, you’re also less likely to be alarmed by someone brushing past your back as you would someone brushing very close to your upper thigh. Carrying a slim wallet in a front pocket means you can keep an eye on it.
Back Pocket Wallets Can Cause Back Pain
There’s a reason why one shoulder bags and bad posture end up giving you back pain. Because if anything is happening to one side of your back and not the other, your spine can easily become misaligned and cause chronic pain. And sitting on something unevenly can be just as bad as carrying something unevenly. If you sit everyday with a wallet in your back pocket, even a couple inches difference between your left and right side can slowly cause misalignment that results in discomfort or even chronic pain. By switching to a slim wallet and carrying it in your front pocket, you not only ditch unneeded weight but also prevent possible damage to your spine.
Depending on your style and occupation, your everyday essentials are going to look a little different. Some people need lots of cards and cash at all times, while others might just need one or two cards for everything in their day. No matter where you’re going, carrying your wallet in your front pocket is the best way to help deter pickpockets and prevent back pain while still keeping your wallet close by and easily accessible. Discover slim front pocket wallets in different materials and colors suited to your day here.

Not my fathers wallet
I finally made the jump to this type of wallet. I am very glad I did. The only drawback is if you have a lot of cash, however, that is very rare anymore. I love this wallet and will most likely but more in the future.

Carbon wallet
I purchased one for my husband and had it personalized. He absolutely loves the sleek style, he hated carring around the bulky wallet in his back pocket. Now he can carry it in his front pocket and not have the weight of the bulky wallet. I will forever purchase ekster wallets for my husband and sons.

Leather Cardholder
Started with the Parliament wallet. Liked the look and feel a lot, but being a minimalist I eventually found it too bulky. Switched to the leather cardholder and liked it a whole lot better. When I realized I could remove the external cardholder (wondered why it came with the extra band!!) it became the perfect wallet for me! RFID protection and super-slim. Love it.

Have used the wallet for about two weeks know and I can confidently say that I got what I payed for. I love showing it off all its features to my friends and family and they share my enthusiasm for the quality of the product.

Napa Black Parliament Wallet with new Tracker Card
Very satisfied with my purchase of a black Parliament with the new Tracker Card. Quality and detail work is great as is the overall design. This wallet really does have the best of an old school storage wallet and a modern thin design.
