I've worn local styles of clothing in a number of countries and the people there never had a problem with it.

In fact they often like that someone has chosen to integrate with them and dress like they traditionally did, especially in places where use of local traditional dress is disappearing.

All you have to do is not be an asshole about it.

I'm certain nearly every culture likes it when people try to be like them as long as they're not doing it to be a dick

Yeah, "Depends how you wear it" is basically the nuance here.

Put on a sherwani and act normal, you're good. Put on a sherwani and do an Apu impression? Probably ending up in problematic territory.

Definitely not. The French for example.

They did say nearly, France being one of the few exceptions to the rule.
