Part of being modest is to dress properly. Allah (SWT) says, "O you children of Adam! We have bestowed garments upon you to cover your shame, as well as to make you look beautiful. But the garment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the signs of Allah that they may receive admontion!" (Al-Araf 7:26)
The way you dress is very important. If you dress modest, you are modest. If you dress indecently, you are indecently.
Islamic dress coding is known as Satr. Satr says that girls should cover their entire body. The hands and face are the only thing optional to be covered. Muslim women around muslim women should also be modest. However, if they want to they can cover themselves from the navel to the knees. Boys should cover the body between the navel and the knees. Both men and women should wear loose clothing.
Our own Prophet Muhammed (S) lived very modestly. He didn't have fancy meals, or fancy clothes. He wore simple attire and ate simple meals. When someone learns to live modest, he doesn't need fancy clothes, etc., and jealousy has left their hearts. Let us all try to be a good true modest person. Ameen!
