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.

There’s no need to abandon skirts as the winter chill sets in. From pencil to pleat, this season’s mid-length hemline provides the perfect solution, whatever the weather

A midi-length hem is the ideal solution for trouser-phobes to carry through the season until next Spring.

As seen on the runways at shows including Celine and Stella McCartney, a hem that drops just below the knee is a sophisticated and versatile look.

Pleated skirts are a great option for those who like a pretty full-skirted shape. They work best on boyish shapes looking to create the illusion of curves.

Pencil skirts have the capacity to become the hardest working item in your wardrobe; smarten up for work with a shirt, try for a more casual approach with a jumper or dress up for the evening with a cami.
