Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The accessories

Rebecca Gonsalves: This retro-phone minaudière labours the current vogue for all things analogue.

Hugh Montgomery: The glasses look as though they've been drawn on after. The bag is a phone. Haphazard.

The dress/jacket

Rebecca: The capacious pockets on this parka must come in handy with such a teeny bag, but the fuzzy lining is surely a bit OTT for late July?

Hugh: This boring ensemble is simply not becoming of someone who dressed in a chicken suit for a month earlier this year.

The tights

Rebecca: Patterned tights are a good way to jolly up an outfit, but leopard splotches could be mistaken for something nasty contracted from a Portaloo.

Hugh: How poignant: an outburst of leopard print hinting at the festival outfit that might have been.

The boots

Rebecca: The chunky heel won't sink into boggy, beer-soaked ground, but brand-new leather implies you won't be treading on owt but the hallowed ground of the VIP area.

Hugh: These boots look like V sounds. (Dull.)
