What Do Catholic Nuns Wear?
Catholic nuns typically wear religious habits, which consist of a long black dress with a white collar, a veil to cover their hair, and a rosary around their waist. The type of habit may vary depending on the particular religious order to which the nun belongs. Some orders may have more elaborate habits, while others have simplified versions. Habit-wearing is a form of religious clothing worn to symbolize the bride of Christ, obedience, and poverty.
