You have great dress sense! ( the ability to dress well in clothes that suit you)
I think the person might be glad about the compliment. But also would be willing to share the cultural information as well so I might actually show interest in getting to know his cultural background as well.

Ask him politely about his culture and the significance of wearing that garment. People are generally more than happy to share information about their culture and anything relavant to that.
You could say something like, "That is a really beautiful traditional outfit!" or "I love how that garment looks on you, simply stunning."This feels more genuine and acknowledges the beauty and significance of the attire without sounding too formal.
It's a compliment
To be honest it depends on cultural context. It might be formal or informal situation according to cultural norms and social conditions.
I feel depending on your relationship with him there are a few ways to good about. Good dress if it's a junior colleague at work or someone younger than you are. You look fantastic in your outfit if it's someone your age or a friend or equal positions at work
I would simply pass a good complimentary comment on clothes
I would rather say "Nice outfit!"
It would be better to say, I like the way you are dressed! Or I like your “shirt, pants, top” etc

The best way to teach vocabulary to children is through engaging, interactive methods that relate to their everyday experiences. Using games, flashcards, and even story telling helps make learning more fun and memorable. It's also important to introduce new words in context to pictures, songs or videos so children can connect the words with their meanings. Repetition is key as well.
