"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Every man has his own preference when it comes to wallets. Some like a thick, bulky style that makes a pleasing thwunk when smacked down on the table after the check comes. Some like a thin, minimalist style that can slide in and out of pockets with ease, allowing room for only the most essential of cards, no cash, and definitely no coins. Whatever way the wind sways you when it comes to a wallet, though, if you're a man who loves ease, practicality, and convenience, consider a front pocket wallet.

A front pocket wallet will become your best friend, your day-to-day buddy, whether you're traveling or just leaving the house for a quick errand. The point of the wallet is that it can fit in—you guessed it—your front pocket, but remain unobtrusive and un-bulky. A slim, compact style is the way to go; these days, most slim wallets prioritize card slots over cash compartments, so for keeping your ID and most-used cards handy, this is the way to go.

And whether you're a classic leather wallet kind of guy, or a modern, sleek man who wants a fusion of fashion and function, you've come to the right place. Below, 20 of the best front pocket wallets on the market.
