5. Articles that may be worn while in uniform include inconspicuous wristwatches and rings. Sunglasses may be worn on leave, liberty, and in garrison but not in formation with troops, unless the need to wear sunglasses has been certified by medical authorities. When authorized for wear in formations, sunglass lenses will be of standard green or dark green shade or may be the type commonly referred to as "photosensitive." Sunglasses that do not have "photosensitive" lenses will not be worn indoors. Eyeglasses/sunglasses, when worn, will be conservative in appearance. Eccentric or conspicuous eyepieces are prohibited. Chains, bands, or ribbons will not be attached to eyeglasses; however, eyeglass restraints are authorized for safety purposes, but must be of conservative style/design.

Here's the website: http://www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/sites/mcub/PAGES/Uniform%20Regs%20Chapters/Chapter%201_files/Chapter%201.htm

so basically as long as you're not wearing purple sunglasses or something like that, you should be fine. hope that helps.

to add to it, eccentric is a broad term however "ECCENTRIC" can be used in a way that if your sunglasses are not issued by the government, they can be considered eccentric by anyone and it normally sticks if caught by people of higher rank. So stay away from the crazy sunglasses
