Modesty in Islam

Surely, showing off your bronchitis in public would be immodest.

I have seen some fatwas that go like this: “since doing xyz is immodest and islam disallow immodesty, therefore xyz is not allowed in Islam.”

My question is where is the line between modesty and immodesty and who draws that line? Also, if that line is fluid, varying between different cultures?

The prophets sunnah shows is what is modest or immodest. Whatever he did with wives whether it was holding hands or missing them he always did in private and not in front of others. All cultures have carrying degrees of modesty, Muslims measure their modesty and have their guide to modesty from Qur’an and sunnah.
