The term "habit" is used for the official style of dress of a Catholic or Orthodox religious, but it doesn't necessarily denote medieval-style robes. Many orders of nuns wear an official habit that looks like it was designed in the early 1960s. The voluminous black robe of a Benedictine monk (and daughter orders of the Benedictines: e.g. Cistercians, Trappists, Carthusians) is called a "cucula". It is given during the final profession of vows, and is worn for solemn religious services, but is optional most of the time. Benedictine monks are always buried wearing their cuculæ.
