Domenican sisters wear an all white habit, as do Cisterians nuns, and I believe Carthusian nuns.
Each community has different rules and customs regarding habits. I am a sister who wears a habit but when I go to the beach I wear a modest bathing suit to go swimming and when I garden I wear sweatpants and a t-shirt. When I sleep I wear normal pajamas. Some communities don't wear leisure clothing at all and some always dress down.
Conceptionists, or nuns blonging to the Order of the Immaculate Conception. They are Roman Catholic.
They are supposed to wear habits, but many choose not to.
The Franciscans,the order of St. Francis prefer a Brown habit, used also by male members of the order, called Friars.
Augustinian monks typically wear black habits with a white tunic and scapular. Sometimes they also wear a white or black cincture around the waist.
