Congratulations to Mary J. from La Quinta, CA, a new subscriber to the Wanderlust and Lipstick Newsletter, for winning this month’s prize!

There’s the moment when you get a new piece of clothing. You know, that moment when you get a little buzz from the purchase. Then there’s the moment when you get a new piece of clothing like the Mission Knit Long Sleeve Shirt from Royal Robbins. A top so soft and comfortable that all sorts of neurons start firing.
That’s what happened for me when this top arrived. And then I wished for a cool front to come in so I could start wearing the shirt as soon as possible.
Like a new pair of fuzzy socks, this is a shirt that’s so comfortable you don’t even know you’re wearing it. Though the material is thin, it’s just that cozy.
The acrylic/rayon/wool blend is an alternative to Merino wool with the same warmth. It’s also wrinkle resistant, which means this will get packed into my luggage on my next cool weather trip.
I love the asymmetrical crew neck (it’s difficult to see it in this photo) and the diagonal seam in the front. Though this is considered a tunic, I found that it doesn’t come down as far as you might think based on this photo. In other words, it’s not something you’d necessarily wear with a pair of leggings.
This is available in Charcoal (pictured above), Cosmic Blue and Merlot.

Disclosure: Royal Robbins provided the Mission Knit shirt to me for review. Regardless, everything I have said in the post reflects my honest opinions.
If I had a Mission Knit Shirt from Royal Robbins I would probably want to were it everywhere, but mostly I would wear it to work. It looks very comfortable and should be nice and warm for cooler weather.
I’m mainly a jeans kind of girl, so I’d wear this with skinny jeans and boots, with my favorite bracelet made from antique spoons
Aaaaand I just realized I misread the prompt and wrote HOW I would wear this instead of WHERE, haha. I’d see this being a favorite everyday shirt. I renovate houses, so this would be a good way to help stay warm and comfy when visiting job sites in the winter 🙂
Cool days on a bike or to yoga!
looks like it would be great for walking or hiking this Fall
Where to wear? In my jeep that I’m planning to purchase. I’m gonna have to layer when I drive around with the top off in October!
I’d wear to keep warm on the walk part of my commute, about 2 miles.
I would wear this on cool evenings when I walk my lovely dog in the neighborhood.
I really, really need this shirt. I would wear it wherever my wanderlust heart takes me!
I’m heading to Nepal in October, and as I’ll be trekking in the mountains at high altitude, I will definitely wear this top there!
I am going to North Carolina this Fall and will need something warmer than what I normally wear in South Florida. This is the perfect top for travel!
I’d wear it on my trip to Maine later this fall. Looks great!
I would love a shirt
like this to simply look great while keeping me warm!(Im from Canada, need I say more Lol)
Love the look of this shirt! This will take me to places that I have always wanted to visit!
This gorgeous cozy shirt will be the perfect lightweight wrinkle free piece for me to snuggle up in on a trip to northern Denmark I will be making later this year. Great on its own or as layer. Looks ideal for keeping comfy and warm on the plane too. Would love one in Charcoal!
Thank you XXX
This is so beautiful. I think it would be an incredible addition to my closet.
I would definitely use this shirt to keep warm as Fall approaches in Chicago.
This shirt looks so versatile and comfortable. I would wear it everywhere – to work, doing errands, hiking . . . .
I would wear this shirt on my upcoming trip to Bhutan.
I love getting these emails and hearing people’s travel experiences. It also doesn’t hurt that these giveaways come around every so often. 😃 I’d love to have this shirt for my travels to Dubai . It’s fashion meets warmth meets modesty. You know, the necessities!
Your Instagram photos are BEAUTIFUL!!
What a great looking shirt. I’d wear it to my first London trip this month.
Hello, Such a great looking shirt! I would
wear it many places – on my walks, shopping,
hayrides and bonfires, shopping during cooler
weather and to our annual girlfriend’s
weekend in the fall…
Many thanks, Cindi

This shirt looks awesome for a cozy day of reading by the fire. Also looks like it would be good for running errands or on an airplane when I don’t have a meeting that day.
I love Royal Robbins travel apparel. I’d wear the Mission Knit Long Sleeve Shirt to Germany on my Viking River Cruise this December!
I would wear this top while traveling since it is so comfortable. I plan to head north and need an extra layer, plus airplanes can be cold sometimes!
I’d wear it on my South Africa trip in November.
I would wear this shirt in the early mornings when I have to go to a nearby cafe to study. It looks like the perfect cozy study shirt!
Love reading Wanderlust & Lipstick! Lots of interesting travel tidbits.
If I win the shirt, shall be wearing it when I go to Antigua, Guatemala in the spring.
Here’s wishing me good luck!
Thanks,
Grace

Thank you
AAAhhh warm and cozy for a fall walk!
I just heard about your solo motorcycle trip to Panama on KPLU this morning. Wow!!! I just started riding a Vstrom 650 DL last spring and I love it! I also have traveled in Central America and the Andes. But to do that on a bike? I’d wear this shirt under my mc gear on an adventure across a border to anywhere.
I want to take it to Yellowstone National park
Selling our home, downsizing like crazy (goodbye shoes) and hitting the road, can you say SPORTSMOBILE! So I am in need of building my essential travel wardrobe!
I found this website via the book “wanderlust and lipstick”!
Wonderful book!
