It is a robe, usually, that is all black (depending on the order, some are white, brown, I know of one order that wears white with a teal scapular). It goes down to the end of their arms, and the bottom of their legs. It may have a scapular, a piece of cloth that falls below the knees in the front and back, and/or a small cape and a veil and wimple. Modern day nuns usually wear a simplified habit that consists of a modest dress with or without a scapular and a veil.

Go to Google images and google nuns since a picture is always better than words.

Nuns may choose not to wear bras due to personal preference or religious beliefs. Some nuns may prioritize simplicity and modesty in their attire, opting for loose-fitting clothing that does not require a bra. Additionally, some religious orders may have specific guidelines regarding clothing and undergarments that nuns adhere to as part of their vows of poverty and humility.
