But three decades later, on the 30th anniversary of Mike Leigh's middle-class satire, so memorably and unfashionably epitomised by Alison Steadman, the kaftan has come back to life. Slowly, quietly, the floaty cover-up has staged an uprising: it has swamped the sarong and overpowered the pareo to become the mainstay of the holiday wardrobe. It is now a fashion classic.
Reality: Hot days call for cool clothes so pick fine white cotton and stay box-fresh. Make your kaftan work for the city by cinching it with a wide leather belt and wearing it with your skinny jeans. If you're petite you should wear your kaftan short; floor-skimming styles of old are reserved for the tall and lean alone. Pare down a sultry embellished cover-up with tousled undone hair.It's all about laid-back elegance so go barefoot ala Kate Moss or opt for barely-there flat thong-sandals.
