Can you wear aviator sunglasses in Army uniform?

Quick Answer

Yes, if they have conservative frames and authorized lens colors (gray, brown, or dark green). No trendy or faddish styles.

Aviator-style sunglasses are authorized as long as they meet AR 670-1, para 3-2 requirements:

  • Conservative frame design — no conspicuous branding or adornments
  • Authorized lens colors only: gray, brown, or dark green
  • Not trendy or faddish in appearance

Classic metal-frame aviators with gray or brown lenses generally comply. Avoid mirrored, colored, or oversized lenses.
