- A good wallet should be simple and stylish in a way that doesn't impede function.
- The Kate Spade Spencer Zip-Around Continental Wallet, with its generous number of card slots and soft yet durable 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 essentials 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.
