Fashion: More tea vicar?
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.Entertaining the relatives over the festive period can be quite a chore: all those turkey sandwiches, Quality Streets and Nice biscuits. No wonder most of us go a bit dotty at Christmas. More tea, vicar? Or would you prefer a little sherry with your mince pies? You never know who might pop in - or what to wear. Whether you are hosting an afternoon tea party or evening drinks, Diane Von Furstenberg's wrap dress could be just the thing. Designed in 1972, it still looks smart and respectable (Granny will approve). It's the perfect opportunity to wear the glitzy brooch that came in your Christmas stocking, too. And as for those wild zebra-print shoes you asked for ... well, your own home is probably the only place to wear them
