[quote=Anonymous]To be appreciation vs. appropriation it should not be in the context of wearing a costume (ex. wedding sari for Halloween) it should also not be something sacred from a culture as an accessory (ex. an indigenous headdress) However if you are part of specific ceremony such as attending a Jewish wedding, it is customary to wear something on your head as a sign of respect if you are male. Modern Jewish weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s usually provide an event stamped yamaka/kippah If you are likely to wear it again because you are Jewish, you take it with, if not totally fine to return it to the basket on your way out. Inappropriate if you were to wear one for “fun” aka Not Jewish to go buy bagels because you hear that both yamakas and bagels are Jewish.

I am white, I have a gorgeous sari I wore for a close friend’s wedding. She tells me I absolutely could wear it again to any occasion where one would get that level of dressed up. Ie: the opera or a gala. (I admit to also being nervous to do so.) [/quote]
