      A lot of Catholic nuns in the U.S. don’t typically wear a habit. They wear conservative clothing (usually a skirt, and blouse) with a veil. Habits are reserved for some orders and may be required, however membership in those orders are entirely voluntary.

      A lot of nuns actually wear plain clothes as well. There’s a lot of choice involved, and YMMV depending upon what order the nun maintains membership.
