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.Glam Cam? As in, our dear PM, buffed and bronzed for a photo call?
Nope; it's just a painful way of referring to the new camouflage trend for AW13. Came up with it myself.
I'd never have guessed. Tell me what's so glamorous about camouflage fatigues again?
First of all, although there is a big dash of 1990s revival in this trend, it doesn't have to be about All Saints-style combat pants. Minidresses, flippy skirts and blazers – basically, all the items most incompatible with camo's original purpose – are getting the treatment too.
I'm not going to be crawling around any forest floors in this lot then.
I wouldn't. It also wouldn't do you much good given lots of it has been reworked in bright colours and a painterly style. This McQ bodycon number (£345, my-wardrobe.com), for example, would conceal your presence only if you were hiding out in an Elton John-sized bouquet of roses.
And how about something a little more casual?
I like Asos's textured blazer (£55, asos.com) in blues and greys for some relaxed structure over jeans and a top. It's also a good trans-seasonal jacket for autumn, although unfortunately it's the wrong colour to blend in with the leaves.
