To help you choose the perfect wallet for your man, here are some handy tips:

Decide how much you want to spend 
The first thing that you need to do is decide how much you want to spend on buying the man in your life a new wallet. This is important because the type of wallet you can get, will depend on the size of your budget. That’s why it’s crucial that the first thing you do is set a budget so that you know what types of wallet you can afford. Whether your budget is big or small, there is no need to worry, there are plenty of options available for all price ranges.

Tri-fold or bi-fold
As a woman, you are probably wondering what these different folds are all about, am I right? Don’t worry, it’s pretty simple. Tri-fold wallets tend to be larger and offer more space while bi-fold wallets tend to be smaller. Compared to bi-fold wallets, tri-folds are not only larger but also have more compartments for different things. Many men prefer these as they give them more room to store everything properly.

How many compartments will he want?
The next thing to ask yourself is how many compartments will your man want his wallet to have. There are two options here; you can get him a wallet with one compartment for bills and coins or a wallet with two separate compartments. If you aren’t sure about the type of wallet that he likes, think about his previous wallets. Did he have a separate area for his coins, or did everything go in together?

What type of fabric would he prefer?
Once you have decided on the size and amount of compartments your man will need, the next thing is to choose the perfect fabric. Leather wallets tend to be the most popular as they are durable and long-lasting. However, there are also various other materials out there, from suede to fabric wallets.  If you decide to opt for leather, make sure that you are aware that there are different thicknesses of leather. The thicker the leather the wallet is made from, the longer it should last for. So make sure that you check the thickness before you buy.

Choose the color carefully.
The material you choose will limit the choice of colors you have to choose from. For instance, leather wallets tend to come in three colors; black, brown and tan. While fabric wallets can come in all different colors, from the bright and the bold to more neutral shades.  When choosing the perfect color wallet for your partner, think about his past wallets and what colors they were. This should give you a good idea of the color of wallet he would like.
