For dress style of most cultures I suggest you look at those paragons of anthropological study, the Asterix Comics.  

Asterix the Gaul - Sartar

Asterix and the Goths - Wenelian Barbarians

Asterix in Briton - Lunar Tarsh

Asterix in Spain - Erolia (Flick, Flick, Flick)

Asterix in Switzland - Tarsh/Sylia

Asterix in Corsica - ?

Asterix and the Great Crossing - Prax

Asterix and the Olympic Games - Dara Hapa

The Pirates - Ygg Islands

The assumption has been to use analogues, not always with success (especially the Egyptian motif of the Holy Country). I think it has drifted away over the years, and I for one would encourage more drift. Not into the ridiculous, except where fashion previals (Lunar Empire...)
