• Whether you need to carry a ton of cash or prefer mostly cards, Insider Picks has you covered with our guide to the best men's wallets.
• While our favorite is the Bellroy Slim Sleeve, each wallet on this list fits the bill as one of the best wallets.

I've always been obsessed with finding the "perfect" thing. Whether it's travel shoes, credit cards, flashlights or something else, I've always tried out different versions of each one, returning and getting the next one on my list until I found what best fit my needs and preferences.

Wallets are no exception. I think I've tried out more wallets than I can count. To be fair, it's hard to find a "perfect" wallet for every situation. In the winter when you're wearing a heavy coat, you can keep a hefty wallet in a breast pocket, while in the summer you need something that can fit in the pocket of a pair of jeans or shorts. If you're going to a wedding or meeting, you might want something that keeps a slim profile in a suit, while you might also need something that can fit cash for tipping at a bar or valet. And of course, you want to avoid being the next George Costanza.

Meanwhile, where you live, work, and how you commute can make a big difference, too. Do you feel comfortable keeping your wallet in a back pocket, or do you worry about pickpockets? If you live in a city with a metro or commuter rail, do you need something that lets you have quick access to a transit card? Do you travel internationally a lot and need something that can fit foreign currency?

Insider Picks' choice for the number one wallet is the Bellroy Slim Sleeve. Of course, we realize that different people have different needs, so we've researched and tested plenty of other options. Below, take a look at the best men's wallets you can find for less than $100. We've listed choices for all kinds of users, including subway commuters, people who don't use cash that often, and people who want to go full-minimalist with a money clip.

Here are the best men's wallets you can buy:

• Best men's wallet overall: Bellroy Slim Sleeve
• Best minimalist wallet: Nomanic BASICS
• Best wallet for cash: Rogue Industries Front Pocket Wallet
