Hadith: Modesty is part of faith
عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال:
سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يَعِظُ أَخَاهُ فِي الْحَيَاءِ، فَقَالَ: «الْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه] - [صحيح مسلم: 36]

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man preaching to his brother about modesty; he said: "Modesty is part of faith."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man advising his brother to refrain from excessive modesty, and he clarified to him that modesty is part of faith and brings nothing but good.
Modesty is a noble manner that prompts one to do what is good and refrain from detestable things.
