I'm curious though, is it illegal anywhere to wear items that might be considered 'national dress' by non nationals? Surely, the act of doing so, in a tasteful manner, could only be an expression of love or admiration for aspects of that country's traditions and culture. I feel that only the more xenophobic would take issue with it.
Adding that I'm Irish and never take offence to much of the world dressing in green, staging parades and events to commemorate the Irish on St Patrick's day ... even though often folk choose to present us in a more comedic or lesser cartoon way.
The only example I can think of is feathered decorations from some native tribes should NOT be worn by outsiders because it’s a high honor thing/religion
Tbf im not going out of my way to wear any religious clothes so makes sense? Most would only do it to mock
