Get a fur hat, a fake beard, and some vodka and go as a Russian!

Despite being Chinese, I'd go for traditional Japanese clothes: (men's traditional) kimono, or a hakama/happi get-up.

That or a Roman nobleman of the graeco style...

I say go as a valkyrie, learn this opera [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Walk%C3%BCre], and get people arguing as to whether you're supposed to be 19th century German or 9th century Norse.

You should go as an Indian. The accent is way fun, and all you need is some sandals, a blanket, and a towel.

Mongolian formal wear, always fun (6-12th century, don't know about the present).
A fully Victorian Masque... or even neo-Victorian is fairly standard, but can have quite the effect.
Greek, although make sure people who choose to wear togas wear Actual togas, not bedsheets.
Colonial era Indian/British crossover... slightly harder to pull off...
Native American garb, with appropriately simple food
Aladdin-esque middle eastern theme

There's a few, just sticking to existing times and cultures. Add in fantastic elements to any of these and you can turn them into any number of things.

List of ideas:

Boudicca maybe? Celtic warrior.
British Navy Commander or the flip side of things and go as a Pirate.
Ottoman empire soldier.
Knight.
A bit bland, why not put Space in front of some of them.

Space Celtic Warrior
Space Pirate
SPACE KNIGHT!!!!
This is why I love the Escapist forums. I think I broke a rib laughing.
