Were you just called to the France Lyon Mission? We’ve put together some practical advice on clothing, shoes, accessories, and more for your mission!
Clothing:
Choose loose-fitting cotton clothing and breathable materials. Here are some pieces that will last for your whole mission!
Dresses:

Skirts:

Think about what you’ll be comfortable wearing in dry, hot summers and cool, humid winters. Choose cotton and breathable materials, and use layers to adjust to the weather.
Now for shoes!
Most returned missionaries who served in Lyon suggested bringing a pair of flats and a pair of boots!
Our suggestions for flats: Dansko Deena, Dansko Fawna, Dansko Rowan, Dansko Leeza, and the Naot Catania.
Our suggestions for boots: Dansko Daisie, Cougar Shani, and the Cougar Swintons!
These are the Dansko Daisies
The right shoes will differ from person to person. Come into our store to try different pairs and find your Cinderella slipper!
Now for accessories!
There are a few accessories that you will need no matter what!
#1 - A bag
#2 - A water bottle
and of course...
#3 - Hair accessories!!
Choosing a bag can be stressful when there are so many options. We’ve narrowed it down to 2 options for you.
The Willesden B Bag and the Sojourn Convertible Messenger Bag are the 2 we recommend!

Bring a water bottle. You’ll be outside a lot, and it’s important to avoid dehydration. Not drinking water can be dangerous.
We don’t currently sell water bottles at Sister MissionaryMall, but here are some favorites from our staff of RMs.
Hydroflasks come in a range of colors and styles. Their insulation keeps your water cold all day long, so you can choose one you love.
Another option is Owala. These stylish, practical bottles come in plenty of colors and keep your water cold all day. Choose one that suits your style and needs.
Who doesn’t love a good hair accessory?!
Here at Sister MissionaryMall we sell lots of different hair accessories! Here are some of our favs: Kaxi Jumbo Scrunchie, Kaxi Hold Everything Claw, and the Kaxi Lay Down Claw
The kaxi products are stylish and practical. They work for thick or long hair, or both, and will keep your hair up all day!
This is the Kaxi Hold Everything Claw
As you get ready for Lyon, we hope this guide helps you prepare to serve. We can’t wait for you to bless the lives of so many people!
