i have read in the past (not sure where) that in the early days ulama of india prohibited people from wearing coats, as this was introduced by the british, and people started adopting this piece of clothing to emulate the british.

now of course, wearing a coat is widespread and is not worn in order to emulate a particular people or culture. so it is safe to say that its ok to wear any modest clothing as long as it is not done to emulate non muslims?
