Can you wear a necklace in Army uniform?

Quick Answer

Yes, but it must not be visible. Necklaces must be worn under the uniform and cannot show.

Necklaces are authorized per AR 670-1, para 3-4, with one important restriction: they must not be visible when wearing the uniform.

This means:

  • The necklace must be worn inside the shirt or blouse
  • No chain or pendant should be visible at the collar line
  • Dog tags/ID tags have their own specific wear requirements and are separate from jewelry rules
