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.Slip. I'll just slip into a slip. It trips off the tongue doesn't it? And yet...
True there's something silky about the very name. Plus an implied effortlessness that corresponds to the style's pleasingly minimalist glamour. And yet, the slip is a bit of a false friend in this respect.
That explains the depressing gap between how I imagine I'm going to look (late 1990s Moss) and how I then discover I really look (primary-school teacher in summer)
Standard fashion logic. The simpler the style, the higher the spec needs to be on things such as hair, skin, accessories. The slip doesn't give you anything to hide behind. Quite literally if you're going for Moss's iconic diaphanous nipple-baring number (one way to avoid looking like a teacher I guess). If not, consider your underwear choice wisely.
I was thinking more 'European actress en vacances'
In that case Plumo's simple Aradia dress in dark purple – excellent even without a Riviera tan – is just the thing (£65, plumo.com, above). If you're a bit braver, Whistles' feather-light shoestring strap Nell dress (£125, whistles.com) is as close to going naked in public as most of us will get (we hope). Don't eat a big meal in it, that's my advice.
