Wo sollte man den Geldbeutel tragen?
Bulging jeans pockets, a slightly crooked gait - men who carry their wallets in their back pockets are omnipresent. This trend is not only unsightly, but also poses significant health risks: Anyone who regularly sits on a bulging wallet in their pocket risks poor posture.
FROM A HARMLESS FATIGUE TO LONG-TERM HEALTH DAMAGE
It's actually quite logical: if you regularly sit with your wallet in your back pocket, your pelvis is tilted in an unhealthy way. The one-sided pressure on the hip joint and lower back can cause pain in the entire musculoskeletal system. The result: back, shoulder and even neck pain, pain in the sciatic nerve, tingling and numbness in the buttocks and legs, as well as knee pain or even pain that radiates into the Achilles tendon. In the worst case, blood circulation is impaired or the nerve is pinched.
There are now several studies that show that sitting down with a full wallet can have fatal health consequences. The fuller your wallet, the worse the effects on your posture. So it's high time to rethink things!
SOLUTION 1: FOR INCONSTANT BUM POCKET STRAPS
The first step in the right direction is to regularly clean out your wallet. This will quickly reduce the volume of your wallet to a minimum. This will reduce the tilt of your hips when sitting. Be honest: how many of the customer cards and receipts in your wallet do you really need on a regular basis? Modern slim wallets only have space for the really essentials like debit cards and a few bills. Small change disappears into the front pockets of your pants, and unnecessary receipts have to be regularly sorted out. This is not only good for your health, but also makes a much better impression when paying during a business meeting or on a romantic date.
Extra tip: If you want to go a step further, you can protect your posture by removing your wallet from your back pocket as often as possible when sitting. You should definitely find an alternative place to store your wallet, especially on long car or train journeys and when working.
And men are also welcoming the new shape, as it disappears much more easily into narrow jeans or jacket pockets. Arrivederci posture problems: Sitting with a slim wallet in your back pocket is much more comfortable than with the bulging wallet lump of the past.
SOLUTION 2: FOR SEE-ABSOLUTE BOTTOM POCKET STRAPS
If you banish your wallet from your back pocket when you're sitting down, you've already done a lot for your health. But where a stylish man places his wallet is also a question of good taste: bulging pockets can devalue even the most sophisticated outfit, as they generally look unflattering and uncultured.
Have you already taken solution number one to heart and now always keep your wallet slim and well organized? Then you are now ready for the next step: getting used to it. Especially at business meetings and in everyday working life, you can easily store your wallet in the inside pocket of your jacket instead of in the back pocket. There is only one unalterable rule here: the wallet should always be light and slim enough that it disappears invisibly into the jacket and neither shows through nor distorts the fabric.
SOLUTION 3: FOR FORMER BUM POCKET WEARERS WITH A SENSE OF STYLE
Admittedly, this approach is only for advanced users, but have you ever thought about a men's handbag? Please don't give up now, because we're not talking about the classic men's bag with a wrist strap that we know from some fathers and grandfathers. After all, men's bags come in a wide variety of shapes. They range from sporty backpacks, simple crossbody bags and elegant business bags to modern belt bags that particularly fashion-conscious men wear diagonally over their shoulders. An extra bag is particularly useful if not only your back pockets regularly suffer from the invasion of an overfilled wallet, but the other pockets on your trousers are also constantly threatening to burst: a thick bunch of keys, an oversized smartphone, a pack of tissues, the unwieldy car keys. The more your trouser pockets are in constant use, the more sensible the option of outsourcing them to much more stylish storage options seems. How much fashion courage you show here is entirely up to you and is certainly also a question of your style and your profession. But one thing is certain: a men's bag - no matter what shape - is always more stylish than bulging trouser and jacket pockets.
SAFETY FIRST
Health and style are not enough of an argument for you? Then perhaps the question of the security of your wallet will convince you. Not only do pickpockets know exactly where most men keep their wallets - at the back right - they are also specialized in removing wallets from exactly that place.
Have you already reduced the volume of your wallet? Then you can easily store your slim wallet in one of the front pockets of your trousers. Another safe alternative is the inside pocket of your jacket or blazer, as mentioned above. However, be sure to take your wallet out of your jacket before leaving it in the cloakroom at the restaurant!
A fashionable crossbody bag or a belt bag worn diagonally are not only stylish, but also guarantee safe transport alternatives for men with fashion courage and a sense of stylish extravagance.
