Er, the first picture is of nuns. They're members of religious orders. They're monastics and ascetics. There's no dress code for lay Catholic women, although it's custom for a woman to cover her head during the Latin Mass. Outside of that, they can wear whatever they want.
Christian monks also have habits:

It's like posting a picture of Buddhist monks and nuns and asking why Buddhism teaches its followers to dress that way.![]()
I think the OP was referring to the mandatory, sex-specific dress codes in some countries.
Why are you focusing on the women? Religious brothers dress in similar ways. I'm just saying that your comparison doesn't make much sense when it comes to Catholicism, since all Catholic women aren't expected to dress like that.No, I was just asking about the way that nuns (use to) dress and the way that Muslim women dress. The two ways seem very similar so I was asking why exactly do the women dress that way.

For Muslims, they'd probably say for modesty. But a nun's habit has a specific meaning and it varies by order.
Well, that doesn't apply to Catholicism. Even at the Tridentine Mass, it's encouraged for men to wear suits and St. Peter's Basilica requires modest dress for both men and women.Muslim women in particular cover their bodies in ways that all Muslim men don't is why I'm focusing on the women.
The color and form of habits in Catholicism vary by order and cultural custom. Some are black, some are white, some are brown, some are blue, some are purple, some are a mixture of colors, etc.As to why both burqas and habits are black, I'm not sure, but I'm sure someone has some answer to that.

From what I know, Muslim men are supposed to dress modestly, too. Orthodox Jewish men, especially Haredi, have very specific dress codes, as well.Well then it's more common with the women in Abrahamic religions (looking at the Muslims) than it is for the men.
Burqas also come in different colors as well. The two pictures are really just coincidence.The color and form of habits in Catholicism vary by order and cultural custom. Some are black, some are white, some are brown, some are blue, some are purple, some are a mixture of colors, etc.
This lady is also a nun:

Hello sweet image search results.lol who knows ?
His name is Omar Borkan Al Gala.
While true that the bible leaves it open to interpretation, as to what is appropriate to wear in given situations, where do such denominations like Amish and Mennonite and Pentacostals get their ideas about religious requirements for appearances? Do you know?The Bible doesn't specify such attire for Christian women. Those are man-made rules.
