Which colours are permitted? Between monastic orders and congregations, let\u2019s explore the religious clothing of women.<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cClothes do not make the monk,\u201d a proverb we have always been accustomed to hearing. It means that<strong> appearances are deceiving<\/strong>, and it derives from an ancient Latin saying: <em>cucullus non facit monachum<\/em>, \u201cthe hood does not make the monk.\u201d Since ancient times it was normal to show respect to those who wore a cassock. Monks and priests were given special welcome and greater respect. For this reason, criminals sometimes chose to disguise themselves as monks in order to commit crimes or to take advantage of people\u2019s goodwill. Hence the proverb.<\/p>\n<p>This preamble is to say that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/liturgical-accessories\/priest-vestments\"><strong>we are used to recognising women and men of the Church by the habit they wear<\/strong><\/a>, which differs depending on the order or institute, but is almost always traceable to religious dress. In particular, we easily recognise nuns\u2019 habits because they are <strong>black<\/strong> with white accessories, but it would be a very reductive and mistaken claim to say that all nuns dress like this. Just as with monks and friars, nuns\u2019 clothing <strong>varies according to the religious congregation<\/strong> to which they belong.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7743 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/priest-vestments.jpg\" alt=\"priest vestments\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Nuns\u2019 Habits: A Colour for Every Order\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7741\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/liturgical-accessories\/priest-vestments\">Priest Vestments<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Priest vestments, religious and priest clothing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are in fact many <strong>Catholic female religious orders<\/strong>, to which nuns and sisters belong. The substantial difference between the two is rooted in the very history of Western Christianity: for centuries the Church recognised only nuns belonging to one of the <strong>approved rules<\/strong>, who had taken <strong>public and solemn vows<\/strong> of poverty, obedience and chastity, as its representatives. Usually, they also lived in <strong>strict enclosure<\/strong>. Over time, however, the Holy See also recognised female communities that did not live in seclusion and led a <strong>semi-religious life within society<\/strong>, offering services of public utility such as caring for the sick, sheltering orphans, and so forth. Since 1917, with the promulgation of the <em>Codex Iuris Canonici<\/em> (Pio-Benedictine Code), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/the-inventions-of-monks-major-contributors-to-european-progress\/\"><strong>religious women of solemn vows<\/strong><\/a> have been officially defined as <strong>nuns<\/strong> (<em>moniales<\/em>), while those belonging to more recent congregations and who have taken simple vows are defined as <strong>sisters<\/strong> (<em>sorores<\/em>).<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7744 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/invention-of-monks.jpeg\" alt=\"invention of monks\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"Nuns\u2019 Habits: A Colour for Every Order\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7741\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/the-inventions-of-monks-major-contributors-to-european-progress\/\">The Inventions of Monks: Major Contributors to European Progress<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nDiscover how the inventions of monks fostered technological&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A generic description of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/liturgical-accessories\/priest-vestments\/nun-clothing\"><strong>nun\u2019s habit<\/strong><\/a> includes a long, <strong>loose tunic down<\/strong> to the feet or ankles, not shaped to the body, with wide sleeves and usually fastened at the waist by a cord or belt, like the friars\u2019 habit. Over the garment they wear the <strong>veil<\/strong>, symbol of humility, chastity and modesty, the <strong>wimple<\/strong>, a band of cloth or veil wrapping the neck and framing the face while covering the hair, and the <strong>coif<\/strong>. Today, in reality, nuns\u2019 habits differ greatly in colour and cut. Above all, those nuns who have chosen <strong>a life not only of contemplation<\/strong>, but one that leads them to work and engage with the community, often opt for more <strong>modern and practical clothing<\/strong>, such as jackets and cardigans, always with due regard for the decorum dictated by their role.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7745 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/nun-clothing.jpg\" alt=\"nun clothing\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Nuns\u2019 Habits: A Colour for Every Order\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7741\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/liturgical-accessories\/priest-vestments\/nun-clothing\">Nun clothing<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">In this category you can find nun habits and religious apparel for sisters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for colours, <strong>black, grey, white, beige and brown<\/strong> are still the most common, but some Marian congregations prefer <strong>blue<\/strong>, and there are also nuns who wear <strong>red<\/strong> to celebrate the Passion and the blood of Christ, such as the Oratorian Sisters of St Philip Neri; <strong>pink<\/strong>, like the Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters; <strong>green<\/strong>, like the Missionary Sisters of the Divine Revelation, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Let us look in more detail at what nuns\u2019 habits are and how they differ.<\/p>\n<h2>Female Monastic Orders<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, let us distinguish between monastic <strong>orders or institutes and regular orders<\/strong>, whose members take <strong>solemn vows<\/strong>, and <strong>religious institutes or congregations<\/strong>, whose members take <strong>simple vows<\/strong> and live a <strong>secular life<\/strong>. The institutes can be either clerical or lay. For example, the Ursulines of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/sacred-heart-jesus\/\"><strong>Sacred Heart of Jesus<\/strong><\/a> are <strong>sisters of a female religious institute<\/strong> of pontifical right, whereas the Poor Clares are <strong>nuns of solemn vows<\/strong> belonging to the order founded by St Francis and St Clare of Assisi, and who follow a Rule centuries old.<\/p>\n<p>In general, we can distinguish female monastic orders, that is, institutes of consecrated life whose members live in community and according to the public and solemn vows of poverty, obedience and chastity, into three groups: monastic, mendicant, canonical.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7746 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/female-monastic-orders.jpeg\" alt=\"female monastic orders\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-kale-share-title=\"Nuns\u2019 Habits: A Colour for Every Order\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7741\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Nuns and Sisters of Monastic Orders<\/h3>\n<p>Like monks of the same order, they live in community in a monastery according to a Rule, but unlike men, they must observe enclosure. They take vows of chastity, obedience and poverty, that is, renouncing all property. They are guided by an abbess and remain bound for life to their abbey. Among the nuns of monastic orders we may recall the Poor Clares, the Carmelites, the Dominicans.<\/p>\n<h3>Nuns of Mendicant Orders<\/h3>\n<p>Like friars of the same type of order, these nuns live in community in a convent and follow a Rule that governs their entire existence. They are bound to enclosure. They take vows of chastity, obedience and poverty and may be transferred from one convent to another. Examples of mendicant orders include the Poor Clares and the Dominicans.<\/p>\n<h3>Canonesses Regular<\/h3>\n<p>The \u201ccanons\u201d are priests who live in an abbey guided by an abbot and follow a Rule. Canonesses live in an abbey, are guided by an abbess and accept enclosure. Some examples: Lateran Regular Canonesses, Canonesses of St Augustine of the Congregation of Our Lady, Hospitaller Canonesses Regular of the Mercy of Jesus.<\/p>\n<h2>Clothing for Nuns on Holyart<\/h2>\n<p>In our online store you will find a wide selection of women\u2019s religious clothing and habits for nuns, all made of fine yarns and of excellent quality.
