 Water Tribe looks like Eskimo+Chinese+Mongolian [fur coats,animal skins,etc]



 Fire Nation is everything Chinese but not Japan, since Japanese borrowed a lot of elements of Chinese clothing into theirs… their armor is obviously Tang dynasty with some Qin/Three Kingdoms period details too…their average cloth [like Fire lord,war minister,civilians] are the standard Chinese dressing called Hanfu. And Roku’s Wive [Ta Min] crown surely looks like Chinese/Korean Empresses, and her dress looks like Daxiushen that was a kind of noblewoman dress during Tang dynasty.



 Earth Kingdom outside Ba Sing Se looks like Song/Han/Ming period of China,and their general’s headpiece is called Guan, a formal small piece on the topknot [like the one Sozin gave to Roku]



 Ba Sing Se is very Qing China AKA: Manchu China ,ruled by the Manchu ethnic minority… the woman dress is called Qi Pao, the elite guard of the King uses Manchurian armor and the men uses Queues, a hairstyle forced by the Manchu over the native Han Chinese.

 Song and her mother dress is called Hanbok or Choson’ot. Korean national dress by the way.



 Air Nomads looks like Tibetan, with some Shaolin/Thailand monk color pattern,since Tibetan monks normally dress in all red
