picking the right one for you

A wallet plays a notable role as one of your accessories in your wardrobe. Having the right wallet to match your general style sense and varied social situations makes a real statement. Thus, it is important to choose patterns, designs and styles in wallets that fits in with your general vibe. But with a plethora of style and patterns of wallets in different brands and labels on the market, picking the right one for you can be a bit tricky. But there is no need to be overwhelmed, as there is always a wallet match for you, no matter what your preferences are. So, the question is how do you choose the best wallet style and design for you?

The material that the wallet is made of definitely contributes to its entire look. There are so many materials that wallets are made of, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. From cotton to leather, vinyl to hemp and nylon, there is sure one that will fit your personal taste. Leather is a definite front runner with a black or brown leather wallet being a simple and classic look that fits most occasions.

A lot of people equate style to designer labels. Designer wallets are, as expected, of good quality and are always forward in design. This however, should not stop you from considering a wallet that may not be bear a luxury brand name, but suits your preference. Moreover, just because a wallet is not branded does not mean it is of poor quality right away. In fact handcrafted wallets of good quality mean you avoid the mass produced products on the market ensuring your wallet is unique. Try really looking closely into the non-branded wallet you like and see if the quality (stitching, material, and lining) is good, the design suits you, and the price tag gives you a smile and not a hole in your pocket. Don't be too brand-conscious, as it might restrict your choices.

Function should also be a consideration in choosing wallet style. There are wallets that accommodate more credit cards than others, wallets with pockets for coins, credit card wallets, and passport wallets, to name a few. Some are long, some are short, some are rectangular, and some are square. What will you use your wallet for? This should narrow down your choices not only to the style you find chic, but to the style that will serve you best as well. Avoid trifold wallets with coin pouches or bulky wallets if you carry your wallet in your back pocket for example. You don't want to be sitting on a knobby crocodile wallet for instance.

Price will always be a factor in choosing a wallet. Don't go breaking your piggy bank and spend everything just to get designer wallets that supposedly "suit" you. You don't need to starve for days only to realize that there are wallets that may not be branded, but look great - and you don't need to spend a lot for that. Be quality conscious, this is an item that gets a lot of daily use, as such you should be looking for a wallet that is both durable and functional.

Color is another factor you should think of. Sometimes, there comes a wallet you love at first sight because it has a nice size, affordable can accommodate all your cards and bills, and actually looks classy. But wait, it's in orange. Don't force yourself to buy a wallet that's in a color you are not comfortable with. Like anything in your wardrobe, you might find yourself cringing when you see your wallet is in a palate that entirely clashes with the rest of your wardrobe.

Good luck in choosing wallets. The perfect one may just be around the corner. Don't give up and don't lose hope. Make a fashion statement with your next wallet.
