What are the religious implications for nuns dressing the way they do?

Answer 1

Has to do with their vows: poverty, chastity and obedience. The habit also serves as a direct and constant reminder of those vows.

Perfectae caritatis:

The religious habit, as a symbol of consecration, must be simple and modest, at once poor and becoming. In addition, it must be in keeping with the requirements of health, and it must be suited to the times and place and to the needs of the apostolate. The habits, both of men and women, which are not in conformity with these norms, ought to be changed (17).

Code of Canon Law:

Religious are to wear the habit of the institute determined according to the norm of proper law as a sign of their consecration and as a testimony of poverty (Canon 669, 1)

Implications:
