The Hijab originates from this Quranic verse:
Covering the chest, legs, probably the hair too and not acting in ways that trigger the sexual reaction in men is what the verse tell believing women to do in my opinion.
Ironically; the Quran is full of other sentences that cover the prevention of blood-shedding, robbery, respecting parents..., but gullible Sunnies/Shiites focus on this one verse to abuse women via it by twisting its meaning according to their will.
About modesty, what does this verse worth if the woman covered all her body, but acted like a slut and had sex on the street?
Modesty starts in the heart. I can name you non-believing atheist women who are more modest than a Muslim in full-Hijab wearing it only to escape the abuse of her family.

Dr. Ghali
(31) And say to the female believers to cast down their be holdings, and preserve their private parts, and not display their adornment except such as is outward, and let them fix (Literally: strike) closely their veils over their bosoms, and not display their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husbands' fathers, or their sons, or their husbands' sons, or their brothers, or their brothers's sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or what their right hands possess, or (male) followers, men without desire (Literally: without being endowed with "sexual" desire) or young children who have not yet attained knowledge of women's privacies, and they should not strike their legs (i.e., stamp their feet) so that whatever adornment they hide may be known. And repent to Allah altogether, (O) you believers, that possibly you would prosper.
