Cazal frames have been a hip-hop staple since the Run-DMC era, and they’re definitely making a strong comeback this year. Fab, Jay-Z, and Diddy have made these old-school glasses the ‘must-have’ of the season. But who owned the look? We’ll leave that up to you.

Sure, the cheerleaders at school were dumb hot, but they were just that—dumb! If you were smart like us, you snuck off to the library during class to talk to the nerdy chick with glasses.

Our in-depth style video series Cut & Show has taken you inside the operations of some of our favorite apparel brands, from Public School to Lupe Fiasco’s Trily & Trully line.
