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.

1. Multicolour stripe

£75, Levi's Vintage Clothing, mrporter.com

Will look great with a pair of the brand's famous blue jeans. The coral neckline is nice and will bring colour to the face.

2. Flock print

£40, Lens by JW Anderson, topman.com

To avoid looking too Seventies, style it up by cuffing the sleeves to reveal a bit of the white inside. Team with chinos.

3. Ombré stripe

£22, urbanoutfitters.co.uk

Echoing the dip-dye hair trend, the graded purple tint on this fits the bill while horizontal stripes add a bit of visual structure to the loose silhouette.

4. Indigo stripe

£65, YMC, youmustcreate.com

An alternative way to wear double denim, the faded indigo on the collar and patch pocket give a worn-in feel to the cotton jersey fabric.

5. Blue stripe

£16, burton.co.uk

A blue stripe is a nautical classic for summer and throwing some bold primary colours and grey marl background into the mix on the yoke adds interest.

6. Urban safari

£165, Yves Saint Laurent, brownsfashion.com

Ruinously expensive, yes, but the sepia leaves on this collage with animal-print safari suit do make a statement.

7. Birds

£15, asos.com

The subdued colours go hand in hand with the comfy cotton jersey for a relaxed summer look. Adding a navy V-neck cardigan won't cover up all the birdies.

8. Tie-dye

£10, riverisland.com

Having ditched (most) of its hippy dippy connotations, tie-dye is having something of a renaissance at the moment. This ticks the pastel-trend box too.

9. Pink stripe

£55, Polo Ralph Lauren, matchesfashion.com

This candy colour may seem too bright at first but it looks great on most skin tones and works really well against tanned skin.

10. White

£50, James Perse, mrporter.com

Plain white tee from LA-based James Perse is up there with other luxury investment pieces. Don't spill your soup, though.
