Traditionally, and many contemporary convents of Carmelites wear a brown habit with a white wimple and black veil. They wear a cape over the entire thing when they are in choir, although there are some "modern" nuns who have modified their habits, or done away with them altogether. For the most part, the nuns with no habits are dying out, and the only orders that are surviving and growing are wearing habits.

Is it a religious requirement from the nun to wear the veil?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, it is not a requirement. Nuns belong to a particular monastery or religious order. Most nuns are Benedictine, Carmelite, Cistercian, or Carthusian. I'm sure that there are others, but these are the biggest and most well know. Each monastery has its own set of rules, although they usually have a charter or something in common. Many orders or monasteries require their nuns to be veiled, others do not. The Vatican has asked that all sisters and nuns wear veils, but unless their Order or their superior require it, there is little, normally, that Rome can do. Sisters are not nuns, but the answer is the same for them.
