Keep your Coach wallet. We're getting skinny. Big Skinny.

This humble workhorse is designed to hold all of your cards, coins and cash without adding bulk. True, wallets have thinned themselves out lately without swapping leather for nylon microfiber. And doesn't that just add insult to injury: toting a big boat of a money holder without much to show for it? The times call for function over fashion (although, a few sequins wouldn't hurt).

Big Skinny ultra thin, lightweight wallets come in several sizes and colors. Prices range from $7.95 for the Mini Skinny to $25.95 for a couple of zippered styles. You'll find them at TA Travel Centers when you're on the road or order online at Bigskinny.net.
