Wearing the Temple Garment. (Missionary rule book)
Wearing the temple garment is the sacred privilege of those who have taken upon themselves the covenants of the temple.
The garment is a constant reminder of these covenants.
When properly worn, it provides protection against temptation and evil.
Endowed members should wear the garment both night and day, according to the instructions given in the endowment.
You should not adjust the garment or wear it contrary to instructions in order to fit different styles of clothing, even when such clothing may be generally accepted.
When two-piece garments are used, both pieces should always be worn.
You should not remove, either entirely or partially, the garment for activities that can reasonably be done with the garment worn properly under the clothing.
Nor should you remove it to lounge around your quarters.
When you must remove the garment, you should put it back on as soon as possible.
The garment should never be left on the floor.
When garments need to be washed, they should be placed in a laundry basket or bag until they can be properly washed and dried.
As you carefully follow these principles, you will be guided by the Holy Spirit in considering your personal commitment to wear the garment.
This sacred covenant is between you and the Lord, and the proper wearing of the garment is an outward expression of your inner commitment to follow the Savior, Jesus Christ.
