I've always wanted to go to left sock world.
I can think of a couple of different styles the clothes in Lunar seem to draw from, or at least, where I think they come from. I know in the Making Of CD for SSSC, a character designer (terrible with names) talks about the concept for Luna, and how different pieces of the clothing came from different places.
Generally, I would put Luna and Alex as somewhere between medieval Eastern European/Russian peasants' garb and mid-Asian dress. Here are links that might draw some comparison:
Alex:

There's the basic over-the-shoulder cloth that seems cut similarly, though Alex never (?) wears it over his head, and it tends to be finer, which makes sense because there don't really seem to be peasants in Burg, persay. Also, the shirt and pants function similarly, with a simple tie as a belt, except that Alex tucks his in, giving him a more modern silhouette. Alex's boots would be well-made for a northern climate, as would the fur in general.
Luna:

The looks have some points of comparison, like the similarly cut and ornamented skirt, the similar length top, and the bound-back hair. Luna wears boots, which are probably, like Alex's, designed for a more northern climate and might be found in several cultures from Scandinavia to Mongolia. It is a bit gypsy as well, but both Luna and the example are more conservative than that. The more solid colors that Luna has, and the slight shortening of her dress, are probably for more modern tastes again.
Next, I would put Mia, Jessica, and Nash in approximately the same category, not because I think they come from the same place, but because they all wear robes. Jessica's are fairly easy, being a blend of druidic robes (especially the hood), a wedding dress, and other modern ornamentations that come from somewhere. (Maybe less easy than I thought.) Mia seems a little like Madeline in dress, a grown up version of the Parisian schoolgirl. There's also an edge of juridical. Nash could be any number of clergy from an Eastern religion, and I'm running out of time to speculate.
Kyle is a bit of an outlier. He keeps a few features of other characters, like the bandolier which young Dyne has, and the boots, but otherwise he seems more styled as a fairly typical barbarian, Conan-style. The little bits of uniformity (the blue midriff, the belt) seem to indicate some degree of formality, which is why it makes sense that he's a brigand, as opposed to an outright loner or wild man.
Other clothing styles seem to fall into these broad ranges. Roughly, I would say that if you wanted to describe it simply, it would be Eastern European/Middle Asian for most, a skewing towards ecclesiastical/juridical clothing for magic users, and a love for color in general. Add a healthy helping of fantasy influence and modernization, and a few random design choices, and there you ... have it?
I can do the art style another time, or someone else could.
Especially since I really don't want to limit myself to just those examples.
That actually makes a lot of sense, alongside the Latin class I'm taking now. I guess that's what happens when I use a phrase I've only heard and never connected with what I read. XD
