What is an authorized color for sunglasses frames?

• A. Red plastic frames
• B. White plastic frames
• C. Gold or silver wire frames on any lens color
• D. Unadorned black or navy blue material; gold or silver wire

Answer: (D)

Sunglasses frames should present a conservative, non-distracting appearance in the cockpit. The only styles that meet the standard are either unadorned frames in black or navy blue material, or slender metal wire frames in gold or silver. The dark, non-reflective look of black or navy blue minimizes glare and keeps the appearance professional, while the slim gold or silver wire frames stay unobtrusive and lightweight. Bright colors like red or white plastic frames draw attention and can be distracting, so they’re not authorized. In short, choose frames that are either solid black or navy blue, or gold/silver wire, with no decorations or bold colors.
