Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Sarah Silverman's back-to-school special
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 shirt
Rebecca Gonsalves: I'm sure this is all part of a hilarious visual gag, but the plain white shirt and skewiff tie bring back painful memories of my brief career as a waitress.
Mike Higgins: I rather like this outfit, starting with the ill-fitting shirt – if it's Aertex, all the better.
The tank top
Rebecca: Midnight-blue is the chicest colour – but this man-made monstrosity might be an exception.
Mike: Worn as a proper tank top really ought to be: haphazardly, over a daft tie and, ideally, for several days.
The socks
Rebecca: Even more mystifying than tights designed to look like hold-up stockings is recreating the look with a pair of bed socks over sheer tights.
Mike: Isn't Ms Silverman taking the sordid 'sexy schoolgirl' thing and sending it up for the ghastly leering that it is?
The shorts
Rebecca: A pair of nicely tailored shorts or even culottes could have saved this ensemble, but these look like they came out of her gym bag.
Mike: You're not feeling this, are you, Rebecca? I state my case in 'The Socks', for what it's worth.
