Nuns don’t even wear those outfits any more.

Nothing coulb be farther from the truth.


Cloistered Dominican Nuns


Discalced Carmelite Nuns


Visitation Nuns

.... to name just a small few. The majority of women religius orders that are growing, all dress in habits.

You just don’t see it much anymore. Not like when I was a kid, 40 some years ago.

Glad to hear it. However the orders you listed, for the most part are not often out in regular society. One of them, if I recall correctly, has vows of silence.
