To put it most simply, it would be following the ten commandments and following the scriptures.
If you try to live a good life and believe and have faith in God, it will just happen automatically. It is sometimes hard to live that way and keep your faith but it isn't complicated. There is nothing "extra" you need to do.
The modesty has to do with not bragging and showing off to others how good you are being. It does not mean dressing in clothes that completely cover your body.
Good luck to you and God bless you.

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” He said to him: “‘You must love your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.
These are the whole obligation of mankind. No need for anything else. If everyone does this then no need for futher burdens of modesty and character.

I think it is to be meek and humble -- especially before the Lord.
It is to seek first to understand and then to be understood. It is doing the right thing even when no one will know if you don't. It is choosing to be last so others can go before you.
It is modeling Christ-like behaviour -- which is to exemplify love through real sacrificial living.

Subterfuge
The christians I've known are the most proud, indignant, irrational, self-serving/ self-hating people I know. Arrogant sociopaths hiding under sheep's wool.
