Lanyards of various colour combinations and braid patterns are also commonly worn on the shoulders of British and Commonwealth military uniforms to denote the wearer's qualification or regimental affiliation. Many regiments were originally mounted, and the lanyard (always on the left) enabled the rider to pull a whistle from his left tunic pocket and maintain communication with the rest of his troop. | Lanyards of various colour combinations and braid patterns are also commonly worn on the shoulders of British and Commonwealth military uniforms to denote the wearer's qualification or regimental affiliation.

Simple lanyards made of braided fabric with a clip attached to the end are used frequently in retail and business situations for holding name badges; the typical arrangement is to attach a plastic pouch with at least one clear side to the lanyard, with the person's name badge facing the front, and occasionally small items such as business cards, pens, or tools stashed behind the badge for easy access.

Such lanyards can also be used as keychains, particularly in situations where keys can easily be lost for lack of storage, such as gyms, public pools, and communal showers. | ||
Lanyards are also widely used with small electronic devices. With increasing miniaturisation, many cameras (both [[digital camera|digital]] and film), MP3 players, and USB flash drives include lanyards, providing easy portability and insurance against loss or dropping. Electronics designed to take a lanyard usually have a small through-hole built into a corner or edge of the case, or anchored to the frame of the device; the corresponding lanyard generally has a loop of thread on the end that is attached to that hole with a simple knot, usually a [[cow hitch]]. The Apple iPod headphones incorporate the audio signal into the lanyard, meaning it doubles up as headphone cords as well. | Lanyards are also widely used with small electronic devices.
