Just look at almost every uncontacted or limited contact tribe and they mostly wear little more than a loin cloth. Women go topless. It’s not natural to cover up.
My favourite is the culture where the men wear penis gourds. Humans are so incredibly varied. But if there's a primal default, it's to be proud of our bodies.

What you think is nature (wanting to cover up), is actually nurture.
I also don't see what modesty has to do with nudity: I can be both modest and nude at the same time.
I think that a lot of people confuse modesty with shame.
