Most cultures have a wide variety of opinions. If someone wants to wear clothing associated with another culture, should they listen to the people saying "no, that's just for us", or the ones saying "we like seeing our ideas spread", or "of course, I'm happy to sell you this hat that I made in the traditional style"? In my experience, there will always be voices across that entire spectrum. If one always listens to the most restrictive ones, then it just makes everyone more isolated in their own bubbles. I do think there are some areas where most people can agree that use of another culture's artifacts is in poor taste and not generally acceptable. A very specific example would be that members of a culture that conquered another culture shouldn't wear clothing or jewelry that was looted from the conquered people. I think most people would agree that that crosses a line. Same for costumes that trivialize or mock another culture, like children playing cowboys and "Indians" in the 20th century, or minstrel shows. But outside of that core, I think it turns into a grey area very quickly. It's a really tough problem to find a good answer to, and IMO it's impossible to find one that makes everyone happy because of that diversity of opinions in nearly every culture.
