Yes that would be cultural appreciation as long as you didn't change the traditional take on it. Cultural appropriation is when they changed those cultural and traditional view to be more fitting(or politically correct) on their view. In example wakanda.
One thing to also take note of is how sensitive a costume can be. And the damnable thing about it is that the "sensitivity" can vary by situation. For example, if I dressed up as an ancient Chinese with a queue, I doubt anyone will consider it an insult, thinking I'm going to a costume party or being really, really retro since I doubt the Chinese still have hard feelings about the Manchu government at this late date. On the other hand, if I turned up in blackface, that is a serious faux pas since there is a stigma to it in America which I'm not sure Easterners get since they did not have the same civil rights problems as the US did. So, context matters as well.
There are the fanatics and then there are the liberals and radicals—what to do? better to play 2D dressing games
As my YT user name that uses my real name said: 'The explanations given by the guy in the black shirt on/off from 2:16 mark to around to 3:05 is perhaps the best explanation I have seen on when to and not to do in regards to cultural appropriations." Now, if an SJW is going to condemn a White person for dressing up as a Navajo for Halloween, depending on how the costume is done, that same SJW should condemn people for appropriating stuff that started from "White cultures". To echo off of @Nightow1, something like Blackface is a huge no-no. I can actually side with those crying foul to that!
