In today’s bustling world, men often forget things. No matter if they’re working on their lawn, going to work, or going out, there some things that should never be left at home. There are certain items every man should carry in his pockets to ensure he has everything he needs for any situation.
Wallet
It goes without saying that a wallet is a must-have item for anybody—at all times. Every man should have a place to carry his money, credit and debit cards, driver’s license, gift cards, membership cards, and even business cards. Wallets are a convenient way to travel with all your important cards and currencies. They are made from different materials, such as leather or cloth, and often have different designs depending on the brand or theme. There are even specialized wallets to hold passports, wearable ID cards, and checkbooks.
Cell Phone
This is another must-have. In today’s world, almost everyone has a mobile phone. The popularity of smartphones has made owning a mobile phone more common than before. Therefore, it’s likely you carry this in your pocket anyway. Still, no man should ever leave home without his. Accidents and emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere, so always carry your phone with you.
Key Chain
As with your cell phone, you should always carry your key chain in your pockets. This holds your house or apartment keys, car keys, key tags, and other accessories, such as a bottle opener or flashlight. No matter what, your keys should be kept securely and within easy access. This way, you’ll have access to your home and car at a moment’s notice.
Lock Pick Set
In case you don’t have your key chain and you find yourself locked out of your home or vehicle, a lock pick set will come in handy. Lock picking sets are convenient ways to getting into your locked areas where a locksmith is typically needed. Hiring professional locksmiths can get expensive and burdensome, so do it yourself with a lock picking set. Be sure to get a pocket-sized set for easy portability and use.

Pocket Knife or Multitool
Pocket knives and multitools are useful tools for helping you with certain situations, especially if you work outdoors. These items are great for cutting letters, opening packages, prepping food, fastening screws, or other hands-on activities. You might find yourself without the necessary tools for the job, but a pocket knife or multitool will work in a pinch.
Comb, Breath Mints, Lip Balm
You never know when you’ll need to look your best at a short moment’s notice. Whether it’s for job interview, first date, conference, or other important meeting, you must present yourself nicely. Brush your hair, pop some breath mints, and apply lip balm to help make you look—and feel—ready for anything.
Pen and Notebook
You don’t have to be a journalist to carry around a pen and notebook; you never know when you might need to write something down. You can write down important information at any time. For example, take note of your favorite meal from a certain restaurant, your gym routine, someone’s phone number, or transportation times—these are all important facts that can be difficult to remember.
