Instructions on What to Wear and What to Pack

What to Wear

For Women:

When we go to the churches, we have a mandatory dress code. You may not wear a dress of any kind. Instead, you must wear a nice, attractive top (short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirts or blouses). You may not wear a sleeveless top or one with Spaghetti straps. Also, you must wear a loose skirt that is knee length or longer. In other words, it must be a skirt that stays at your knee or below when you sit. For shoes, you must wear nice, attractive dress shoes or dressy sandals. You may not wear tennis shoes or flip-flops. In all instances, your church clothing must be modest and tasteful (in other words, please do not wear anything that is low-cut or revealing). Please do not bring expensive jewelry. Jeans are not permissible for the church services.

At the mission, you may wear: shorts, Capris, jeans, T-shirts, tank tops, flip flops, sandals, tennis shoes, etc. In other words, you may wear casual, comfortable clothing.

When we go on an outing (i.e. shopping, touring), you may wear casual clothing that is modest. In other words, because we are representing the Lord and the Mission, we must dress in a tasteful, non-revealing, non-offensive way. In terms of shoes, you may wear tennis shoes, but you may not wear flip flops.

For Men:

When we go to the churches, we have a mandatory dress code. You must wear a nice, attractive shirt and a tie. As long as they are not flashy or distasteful, your shirts and ties may be white or colorful. If you are coming to Brazil during the summer months (December to March), you may wear short-sleeved collared shirts (i.e. Polo shirts) instead of a shirt and tie-unless you are preaching (in which case you must wear a shirt and tie). For pants, you may wear either nice khaki pants or nice dress slacks (i.e. black, blue, or grey). Jeans are not permissible. Please wear nice, attractive dress shoes to each service (no tennis shoes, sandals, or flip-flops please).

At the mission, you may wear: shorts, jeans, T-shirts, flip flops, sandals, tennis shoes, etc. In other words, you may wear casual, comfortable clothing. The same casual clothing is acceptable whenever we go on an outing (i.e. shopping, touring).
