Aiguillettes

Aiguillettes are ornamental braided cords worn on military and ceremonial
uniforms. They are typically made of gold or silver cord, often with metal
tips, and are worn draped around the shoulder. The aiguillette serves as a
mark of distinction, usually denoting an officer’s role, staff appointment,
or ceremonial duty.

Key Features:

Construction: Made from twisted or braided cords, commonly metallic or
colored, ending in decorative metal tips called aglets or aiguilles.

Placement: Worn on the right or left shoulder, depending on the tradition,
rank, or appointment.

Color: Gold and silver are most common, though regimental colors or
service-specific variations may be used.

Attachment: Usually looped under the epaulette or shoulder strap, allowing
the cords to drape neatly across the chest.

Uses:

Military: Signifies staff officers, aides-de-camp, or ceremonial guards.

Police & Other Services: Worn during parades, official duties, or as part
of dress uniforms.

Ceremonial: Enhances the formality and prestige of full dress or mess dress
uniforms.

Would you like me to also prepare a short introduction and detailed
description of aiguillettes (like I did for your other regalia topics), so
it matches the same structured format?
