Peasant and working men nearly all wore beards, knee high boots, caps and mid length coats; the women wore headscarfs and long dresses.
Nobles dressed in European styles, men in suits, or military uniforms if they were in the army. The women wore fashionable clothes from France.
Obviously the various peoples – Uzbeks, Tatars, Kalmyks etc – of the Empire would have worn their own styles of clothes – there are some images here: http://englishrussia.com/2007/01/25/russian-peopl…

You might get a little help from the paintings of Ilya Repin, especially the "17 October 1905" and the portrait of Nicholas II. See below:
