I know that these two terms refer to the period in which these two monarchs reigned, but stylistically, what is the difference?
Would Paul McGann's coat be considered Victorian or Edwardian? And why?

Depends on whether you'd call Wild Bill Hickock a Victorian or an Edwardian denizen of the Wild West. Or a fancy dress supplier's idea of it anyway. It was such a coat the Doctor nicked from the poor morgue technician's locker. Like he hadn't had a bad enough day already! ;D
Stylistically I don't really think there is much difference. A lot of learned scholars and antique dealers would probably tell you different but for me it doesn't really matter. Especially now when a quick google to find any such differences brings up the differences between Victorian and Edwardian conservatories that you can have at a very reasonable price with a just fabulous installment plan and a very low APR.
Not much help I'm afraid.

Edwardian Fashion is different to Victorian Fashion. How though? Well they were both the same during the last year of the Victoria's reign and Edward's first year but the style of Victoria proper and Edwardian proper was different. By todays standards Edwardians look more modern than Victorians. The Edwardian style outlived King Edward. Edwardians:  Victorian:  |

With hairstyles like that, I'm glad I'm not Edwardian.  BTW, thanks for the explanation everybody. |
