Because paper is better than plastic.

FOR THOSE WHO might say money clips are "out of style", they're wrong. Money clips are forever stylish, and in a world full of plastic cards (and sometimes bougie metal cards) there's never been a better time to carry cash in your pocket. Deep down, you know your old man is speaking the truth when he tells you cash is always king.

When shopping for a money clip, our main piece of advice is don't get carried away. You don't have to buy a super expensive one made of solid gold. Instead, look to brands making unique and stylish money clips that won't break the bank. Another note, keep the design at a minimum. Focus on high quality materials, solid colors, and simple design. At the end of the day you can't beat a clip that's minimalist in nature and easy to use.

If you want to buy a money clip with a fun design, that's fine too! Customizable money clips can be really cool when done right (and great gifts). The same goes for ones inspired by sports teams or movies. Just make sure you're rocking the Batman money clip as your secondary wallet, not your main go-to.
