What does full Hijab entail for a woman? Does it simply involve wearing modest loose clothing that covers the body, or is it specifically about wearing an Abaya?

As far as outer hijab and Islamic dress-code for women, wearing a 'abayah or chador is not compulsory, unless it is the common custom of a particular society, and not wearing it will be seen as bad.
In brief, wearing of modest and loose clothes, is enough, as long as deflects any attention of men.
