The More You Know: But what is an epaulette? From French épaule, "shoulder," it means "little shoulder" and is a type of ornamental shoulder piece or decoration used as insignia of rank by armed forces and other organizations. For some, the word is interchangeable with "passant" or "shoulder strap."
The epaulette is fastened to the shoulder by a small strap parallel to the shoulder seam or by laces on the underside of the epaulette, passing through holes in the shoulder of the coat. The placement of the epaulette, its color and the length and diameter of its bullion fringe are used to signify the wearer's rank (like King [of Pop]).
