Please tell me the Quran verses or hadith that say that women must?

over the complete body except the face and the hands up to the wrist???

While in a desert climate dress is a protection against sun radiation, there are climates where dress is rather unhealthy. It is not by chance that people in tropical djungles usually wear little cloth, or nothing at all.
But even tribes that don’t use any dress usually make a difference between decent and unchaste behavior.
The verse you quoted can be interpreted that women should wear modest dress according to the costums of their culture. This is more plausible than a fixed dressing code which implies that God wants women wear much cloth even if this may cause skin diseases, and worse infections as a secondary consequence of these skin diseases (unless you use modern means of western hygiene and medicine, which in tropical djungles is only possible for rather “wealthy” people).
So, is this dressing code described by you more than a man-made rule derived from a mechanical interpretation of the qor’anic teaching by people having a narrow “arabocentric” view
