Wallets – 5 Different Styles For Your Back Pocket

Wallets – 5 Different Styles For Your Back Pocket

Let’s be brutally honest for a moment, when it comes to fashion and style us gents are an uncomplicated bunch, we know what we like and we stick to it. Unlike our female counterparts, who chop and change their outfits on an almost daily basis, we men are not dictated merely by fads and whimsical winds of fashion, we’re a loyal bunch – if we find a brand we like, chances are we shall return to purchase from said brand time and time again – who like to keep our style sharp and our fashion not overly fussy.

Of course, there are men who break these rules, the trendsetters, groundbreakers, the men who simply want to stand out from the crowd, yet in the main, conformity is the order of the day and while there is nothing wrong with this approach to the ways in which we present ourselves, change as they say is as good as a rest.

One subtle yet elegant way to break these traditional habits is through our choice of accessories and more specifically the wallet we carry in our back pocket. The wallet is perhaps the perfect example of us men and our troubles evolving with the ever demanding changes in style and fashion; men love to have one wallet and seem to see it as some kind of honour that their wallet clings on to life no matter how beaten or frayed it is. We have clothes, shoes and even accessories (ties, hats etc) for each occasion so why not wallets?

The wallet should accompany your outfit, it speaks volumes for your character and can easily blend in with the correct outfit making it an essential tool in your accessory kit.

Here’s a quick look at wallets for five very different occasions.

It’s the trusty steed in your accessory arsenal, ready to tackle the daily grind.
