I have a vest with inside zip pockets that I've used for years-works great--also a bra pouch that snaps onto bra straps-& a cross body travelon purse--everything is secure--
the inside zip pockets are the best--

I used to wear a money belt, but I bought 2 shirts from Travel Smith and they have a security pocket. It's like a zippered pocket inside of another zippered pocket. You can wear them over another shirt or tank and I didn't carry my purse. Just kept the passport, money, credit cards in them and small amt of money in outer zipped pocket.

After having my purse stolen years ago in Europe, I never carry one.
www.TravelSmith.com has great pants with a hidden zipper pocket inside of a pocket. That holds my cash and charge cards. They also have great jackets with hidden zipper pockets.
Passports stay in the hotel or apt. room safe,but I always carry a photocopy in my back pocket.
My husband has a flip pocket. It has 2 hooks on his belt and flips inside his pants. Good for anything. Available at all travel goods stores. His wallet in his back pocket holds fake cards--never been stolen.
Anything else, lipstick, comb, etc, all go in my pockets.

The fact that people are still posting 9 years later proves that this issues hasn't been solved yet.
I just use a normal purse when on business and a mini-Sportsac on vacation. Have not had any problems in more than 70 trips to many parts of europe.

I have a small lightweight wrist wallet that is great for small amount of paper money, credit cards ,and hotel keys.
It can even go swimming with credit cards and hotel key safe.
You can google Enroute wrist wallet to see what I mean.
After having her wallet stolen in church (really!), my 86 yo mother uses one now for her cash and ID.
