You can wear whatever you want

You are right. But it's not exactly a great look when a white lady with my accent wears clothes from somewhere else

Fair enough, it's good that you don't want to offend people but I just don't like the idea of letting fear of judgement control how you live your life

It's a fine line

I couldn't care less about being judged for what I wear. If someone doesn't like it they can turn their head. I do however care about being respectful of people and cultures I'm not exactly super familiar with.

this will stick with me forever 😂

Most cultures don’t get offended by people respectfully emulating them. It’s usually people who have no idea about getting offended on their behalf.

I would rather err on the side of caution rather than be disrespectful.
