Wallet in jacket if wearing jacket, cash and cards in pocket if not. I can't carry a wallet in my jeans anymore, it's uncomfortable, and looks like ******.

I am married so I don't really care..... but when in the world did having a wallet in your back pocket become "uncool" or look bad?
 
I've been carrying the same wallet for 26 years. I don't think I'm going to ditch it because some poofette thinks it's unfashionable.

bi-fold, back right pocket:
2 CC ( 1 personal, 1 company)
2 debit
1 DL
phone list
insurance card

Edit: I also wear pants w/ cargo pockets which would probably cause the author to stroke out.

Been carrying one back there for 30 some years now and my spine is fine.

My step-dad's spine is messed up and causes him lots of problems now because of a wallet.

I'd like to know how that was concluded.

I'll ask him tonight after I take my last exam.

Shifts your spine? What was he doing, sitting on it?

Used to carry a bi-fold wallet, but found that it stretched the pocket on slacks, pants, jeans, etc. Now I just use a billfold on some occasions which is kept in the jacket pocket, but primarily just cash in the front pant pockets. Use a card sleeve for bank card, license, and few bus. cards.

Other pant pocket I use to hold ~$5 in spare change.












/jk although it always seemed as if my grandfather carried that amount of change in his pockets, in addition to a swiss army knife and pocket watch.
 
I carry a bi-fold leather wallet with the following inside: DL, insurance card, AAA card, student ID, ~$50 cash

 
Tri-fold wallet in the back-right pocket. I don't see any other way to securely carry your cash and cards with you. If my back-right pocket feels light, I immediately check it, that's how used to it I am.
 
i keep my wallet in my back pocket simply because its the only place I can keep it. If I'm wearing a coat, it feels annoying when its in my chest pocket.

I don't think a money clip would work as well for me. I have to carry around quite a few cards (im a student) and cash.

While the author of the article has a point, I think she takes it too far. In the pursuit of being "stylish," they suggest sacrificing a lot of practicality. C'mon, its a wallet for chrissake, its not like you're carrying a wooden block. And they say we're "insecure...." lol, the irony.
