The What To Wear List for an LDS Missionary

Here it is...what you have been waiting for...the what to wear list for a male LDS missionary:
  • 2 Conservative, Tailored Suits in dark brown, dark gray, dark green or dark blue; wrinkle free; narrow pins stripes are ok.
  • 10 White Sleeve Shirts; a mix of long and short sleeved shirts depending on the weather
  • 5-6 Conservative Ties to match the suits
  • 2-3 Slacks that hold a crease; dark conservative colors (see above) 
  • 1-2 Conservative Belts; no braided or canvas
  • 8-10 Sets of Garments
  • 2 Pair of Conservative Dress Shoes in cordovan, black or dark brown; rubber soles highly recommended for walking; must be made of material that can be polished
  • 8-10 Pairs of Dark Socks that match the slacks 
  • 1 Raincoat
  • 1 Pair of Pajamas; robe and slippers as needed
  • 1 Set of Baptismal Clothing: white pants, white socks, white tie, white shirt
  • 2 Below-the-knee Shorts
  • 2-3 Conservative T-shirts
  • 1 Supportive Undergarment
  • 1 Pair of Gym Shoes
  • Gym Socks
  • One Set of Prep Day Clothes including full length pants
This list is typical for an elder serving a state-side mission in a warm climate. The list will vary for an elder serving in a colder climate or serving in a foreign mission.

When shopping and packing, think Dark and Conservative...
