There is a lot that needs to be done before going on your mission, but putting together your sister missionary wardrobe doesn’t have to be intimidating! Here are 5 essentials that are perfect for every sister missionary’s wardrobe.
1. Dresses
Dresses make for an easy outfit and come in a variety of styles and lengths. Be sure to understand the climate of the area you’ve been called to serve in, then choose your dresses (and all other clothing) based on that! Remember to bring dresses that you feel comfortable spending a whole day in.
2. Layering Tees and Slips
When packing for a mission, it’s important to have the basics! Make sure to grab some layering tees and slips so that you always have pieces to layer with or to help give you more coverage when needed. White, black, and nude colors are the best places to start because they go with nearly everything!
3. Tops
It’s crucial that the tops you bring on your mission coordinate well with a number of your skirts, and maybe even one or two of your dresses for layering. Space is limited in your suitcases, and if you can’t style a top multiple ways, it’s probably best to leave it at home. Don’t forget to pack t-shirts and more casual tops for p-day activities, daily exercise, and service activities, too!
4. Skirts
Like dresses, skirts are an obvious necessity for the sister missionary’s wardrobe. Opt for skirts in different patterns and colors that match your personality (and the tops you’re bringing!). Both midi skirts and maxi skirts are currently trendy, and will ensure you stay comfortable throughout the day.
5. Everyday Jewelry
When it comes to jewelry, bring pieces that are simple but add some unique flair to your outfits. We recommend necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and a cute watch that will go with everything. Jewelry can personalize your look while helping you feel your best for a day of missionary work!
