"It was a gift from my travels. Isn't it lovely?"

Dear Prudence,


I have a first-world question. I travel extensively for work and am often gifted with traditional clothing. Think keffiyeh in Saudi Arabia, vyshyvanka in Ukraine, hanbok in Korea. They are usually very beautiful, but I’m at a loss as to what to do with them when I get home. Can I somehow use or wear them without seeming to appropriate the culture?

  • You can absolutely display them in your home- if they were gifts from people of that culture it’s not rude to enjoy them. If you wear them make sure it’s at times that’s appropriate for the type and style of dress and if anyone asks you can say they were a gift from your travels abroad.
