You are wrong, that would contradict the edict that was given in Act 15:20 Act 15:29 and was repeated in Act 21:25. Paul was upholding the edict, what you read in Romans is Paul working with the two groups, one group the Gentiles who had to give up their pagan practices, and another group Jews who had to continue in the Law until the destruction of the temple.
It has nothing to do with a grass skirt.
