The Best Budget Wallets

I spent the majority of my 20’s wrapping my credit cards and dollar bills in a rubber band. I simply couldn’t handle the bulk of a wallet. Thankfully, there are now a number of designers who make low-profile wallets for minimalists who abhor the back pocket bulge. We searched the depths of the internet and found several highly rated slim wallets that will help you streamline your life. Or at the very least, they’ll fit in your skinny jeans.

Dash Co Slim 2.0 ($22)

Dash makes a number of minimalist wallets built for your front pocket, but their Dash Slim 2.0 has been redesigned for durability, with a leather front and better-grade elastic. It holds up to 10 cards and cash folded in thirds.
