It was announced today,
that after his retirement
the Holy Father will wear a simple white cassock
without the mozetta (the shoulder cape). 
He will not wear the red papal shoes. 
His official address will be: 
"His Holiness Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus"
or
"His Holiness Benedict XVI Pontiff Emeritus"
not "Bishop Ereritus of Rome".
