When they take a bath. that"s about it. they do not normally operate under cover or in plain clothes, like detective cops such as Dragnet men. The motion picture ( A change of Habit) was highly innacurate. No nuns, and especially not novices would be permitted an Undercover or plainclothes assignment-in the film they were nurses in a hospital- some or all romancing Doctor Presley ( of all people) Nobody would normally assign novices to such an assignment- anymore than than one would use a private out of BT for a highly sensitive spy mission! Nuns don"t operate undercover- normally, but some religious orders have relaxed the uniform code somewhat. In some cases the modern habit suggests the occupational garb of, well, a female subway conductor- though she would not have a veil. so it goes.

what kind of question is this??? idk Nuns (actually they are sisters, though "nuns" is commonly used for teaching sisters as well) belong to different religious orders which are distinguished, among other things, by the habit they wear. The habit with the bonnet resembles the historic habit of the Sisters of Charity, the order founded by Elizabeth Ann Seton. However, I can never recall seeing a nun in such a habit and suspect that by 1964 even that order was wearing a more conventional habit. I speculate that it was chosen for its effect of sustaining a slightly sinister air about the principal.

Roman Catholic AnswersMany nuns wear white: Cisterians and Carthusians among others. Also, most nuns, regardless of the color of their habit will wear a white veil before they are professed. There are also many sisters who wear white, such as Dominicans, but they are not nuns.

Different orders wear different colors, Benedictine nuns wear black, Cistercian nuns were white, and there are others. Regardless of the color, the entire "outfit", if you will, is called a habit, you can see more of an explanation at the link below:
