The Insider Pick: -
A good wallet should be simple and stylish in a way that doesn’t impede function. The Kate Spade Cameron Street Lacey Wallet, with its generous number of card slots and crosshatch leather finish, is our favorite. Is there anything more personal than wallet shopping? Okay, yes. But the sentiment stands. We all want something different in a wallet. Maybe you’re a minimalist who wants to carry the bare minimum or maybe you’re someone who simply can’t pass up a loyalty card. Either way, the “right” wallet is out there, waiting for you to find it. I’m a purse-switcher, which means I sometimes need to switch wallets, too. Some of my bags are roomy enough to hold my maximum capacity, no-card-left-behind wallet, and others require a pared-down approach. If that sounds familiar, my hope is that you’ll find all your dream cash-and-card receptacles on this list. No matter your priorities, the key to a good wallet is storage space. Are there enough pockets, nooks, and crannies to meet your needs, no matter what they are? Wallets get a lot of use, so you also want to look for something that can withstand some wear-and-tear and hold all your necessities.

If my bag can accommodate it, I prefer a larger wallet. They’re harder to overstuff and typically come with extra compartments that make organization simple. Take the Cameron Street Lacey Wallet by Kate Spade, for example. It has 12 slots that hold everything from credit cards to the punch cards from your local coffee shop, an interior zippered pocket that makes a solid change purse, two sections for cash, and an outside pocket to hold essentials that you need close at hand. That means no more scrambling for your train ticket on the railroad while the conductor checks his watch. This is a great pick if you’re a Kate Spade fan who doesn’t want to splurge on one of the brand’s quirkier designs. The Cameron Street Lacey Wallet has a timeless one- or two-color body adorned with the Kate Spade logo. BestReviews named it the best of the brand’s offerings, noting that it is “one of Kate Spade's most popular wallets.” Indeed, there are tons of reviews on the Kate Spade website and 95% of respondents said they would recommend it to other buyers. “The leather is soft, there is plenty of space for cards, cash, etc. and it doesn't take up a ton of room in a purse. in a pinch, my iPhone even fits inside in the cash slots,” says one reviewer. Pros: 12 card slots, multiple pockets, roomy, quality design Cons: Might be too bulky for smaller purses, some issues with the zippers, pricey
The best wallet for card obsessives  Why you'll love it: Do you never, ever turn down a loyalty card? The Travelambo RFID Blocking Bi-Fold Wallet is about to be your new best friend. We’ve all had that moment. You’re in a coffee shop or a big box retailer or a restaurant. The person assisting you says these eight words: “Do you want to join our loyalty program?” Even though the voice in your head is literally screaming “YOU NEVER EVEN COME HERE!!!” at the top of its lungs, you nod. And next thing you know, there’s another mostly useless card taking up precious real estate in your wallet. If this sounds like you, consider the Travelambo RFID Blocking Bi-Fold Wallet. It has 16 card slots, a clear slot to hold an ID card, plus two cash compartments that zip shut. This wallet also comes equipped with RFID-blocking technology. As Wirecutter reports, “you’re far more likely to be affected by a card skimmer at an ATM, or a breach of a major retailer” than by someone trying to scan your cards while they’re in your wallet. Still, it is a cool feature if you’re into doubling down on security. The Travelambo RFID Blocking Bi-Fold Wallet is made of real leather and comes in 33 colors, including a fun metallic rose gold. You’re sure to find one that suits your vibe. BuzzFeed called it one of the “Best Wallets You Can Get On Amazon,” and buyers seem to agree. It has a 4.5-star rating based on 1,600 Amazon reviews. One fan loves it because it “securely holds all of the things that I need to fulfill most daily errands,” including her checkbook and keys. Another buyer writes, “I just received this, but I had to review because I LOVE this thing! Especially for the price. I desperately needed a wallet with a lot of card holders and this definitely delivers.” Pros: 16 card slots, multiple zipper pockets, RFID-blocking feature, comes in a bunch of colors, great deal for the price Cons: Reviewers noted the card slots are stiff
The best wallet for people who don't like purses  Why you'll love it: If you never, ever want to carry a purse, you’ll love the spacious Long Zip Wallet by Everlane. It even has a pocket that fits your phone! Bags and purses are great, but sometimes you just want to hit the road unencumbered. But in this modern era, it’s hard to leave it all behind. For those occasions when you want to take as little as possible, there’s the Long Zip Wallet by Everlane. With a sleek design and pinky eggshell color, the Long Zip Wallet is designed to carry all your essentials — cash, cards, coins. There’s even an interior pocket that holds a cell phone and/or a passport. As one reviewer noted, “[t]he wallet is surprisingly compact considering its longer profile,” so you could easily carry the wallet alone, or toss it in a purse. Plus, that neutral shade will go with everything. Our guides editor Malarie Gokey is also a fan of this wallet. She uses it when she needs to travel because it holds all the documents, bills, and other things she needs to carry when she's rushing through the airport or train station. If that isn’t enough to convince you, The Cut reported that, as of 2014, Everlane produced its wallets “in the same factories as Comme des Garçon's leather goods, which are known for their long-lasting color.” So it’s basically like splurging on a designer wallet for under $150. Granted, this wallet isn’t cheap, but you’re paying for 100% Spanish leather and gorgeous craftsmanship. “High quality leather, durable zipper, and it's the perfect size. It can also fit a phone which is one of the main reasons why I got it,” reads a 5-star review on Everlane. Pros: Fits a phone or passport, has 11 card slots and a coin purse, made of quality leather Cons: Only comes in one color, reviewers say leather is somewhat fragile and easy to scratch
