Definitions

Detroit shorthand for Cartier eyewear, especially the wood-buffalo-horn 'Buffs' frames. A four-figure flex that's been Detroit's signature accessory since the late '80s — closer to a chain than a pair of glasses. Big Sean, Eminem, and basically every Detroit rapper has worn them on camera.
“Dude rolled up in a fresh fit, iced-out chain, Cardis on — full Detroit uniform.”
