The Franciscans,the order of St. Francis prefer a Brown habit, used also by male members of the order, called Friars.
yes, like the order of carmelites
Carmelites
Nuns in general are usually celibate- cloistered or not.
The Ursulines are Sisters not nuns. They were founded in the sixteenth century and were the very first Order that was founded that was not composed of cloistered nuns, instead they were founded for the education of young girls so the Sisters were not to be cloistered but to be out in the community. There was Episcopal opposition to a religious order of women that was not strictly cloistered, at that time.
All nuns started out as cloistered, that is the very definition of a nun, as opposed to a Sister. A Sister works out in the world, classically, teaching, nursing, etc. Nuns, such as Benedictines, Cistercians, Carthusians, were all cloistered, although many, not all, modern Benedictine nuns work out in the world like Sisters. (Cloistered is the term for an "enclosed Order". Classically, Carmelites, Visitation Sisters, Franciscans, Dominicans, and many others were cloistered as well, but they are not nuns.
I suppose false, as nuns may have been cloistered on occasion.
Conceptionists, or nuns blonging to the Order of the Immaculate Conception. They are Roman Catholic.
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.
.Catholic AnswerThere certainly are, there have been cloistered nuns in the Catholic Church since the 7th century when St. Benedict's twin sister, St. Scholastica started the Benedictine Order for Women. Please see the links below.
In the olden days, most nuns lived cloistered lives, safely secured from the world by tall convent walls and little to no interaction with the world beyond them.
The habits look like School Sisters of Notre Dame.

The Roman Catholic Church, Anglicans, Lutherans, Orthodox Christians, Jains, Taoists, Hindus, and Buddhists are some of the churches that have nuns. They have chosen a cloistered lifestyle and are dedicated to their beliefs.
Monks and Friars live in a monastery. Nuns and cloistered women live in monasteries as well, not to be confused with convents.
