Chunky square frames are often associated with rapstars, or guys trying to live rapstart lifestyles. Usually seen paired with high-end designer streetwear, a lot of black, and unnecessary leather. It’s a bold, in your face, “ I’m getting mine”kind of look, which can be cool if done with at least some air of subtlety.
Small & Round Sunglass

Plastic Wrap-Around
