Military Aiguillettes

Military Aiguillettes are ornamental braided cords worn on military and
ceremonial uniforms, usually looped around the shoulder and fastened to the
coat. They hold both functional and symbolic significance.

Key Features:

Design: Made from gold, silver, or colored bullion wire, mylar, or cord.
They often include metal tips (called aglets or tags).

Attachment: Typically worn on the right or left shoulder, depending on
branch, country, or duty role.

Styles: Can be simple cords or elaborate multi-braided patterns with
decorative knots.

Types of Military Aiguillettes:

Ceremonial Aiguillettes

Worn by high-ranking officers, aides-de-camp, and ceremonial guards.

Often gold or silver braided with metallic tips.

Dress Aiguillettes

Used in formal parades, state functions, or special occasions.

Coordinated with full-dress uniforms.

Functional/Service Aiguillettes

Historically used to secure armor or weapons.

Now mostly symbolic, denoting duty assignment.

Branch-Specific Aiguillettes

Different colors, styles, or positions distinguish navy, army, air force,
or police roles.

For example: in some countries, right-shoulder aiguillettes indicate an
aide-de-camp to the Head of State, while left-shoulder aiguillettes mark
staff appointments.

Symbolism:

Authority & Duty: Signifies the wearer’s official role or attachment to a
commanding officer.

Ceremony & Tradition: Embodies centuries of military heritage and
formality.

Rank Distinction: Helps identify senior officers or aides in formal
settings.

Would you like me to also create a visual guide showing the different types
of military aiguillettes with images, so it’s easier to distinguish them?
