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.

Our fashion roundups are unbiased. On some occasions, we earn revenue if you click the links and buy the products, but we never allow this to affect our coverage.

From decorating the Christmas tree to present buying and the onslaught of party season, December is a demanding month for many reasons.

But the thing us fashion fans love more than anything about the onset of the festive period is the prospect of a new, winter-worthy aesthetic.

As the freezing temperatures set in it can be tempting to forsake your fashion credentials altogether but, believe it or not, cold-weather outfits that are as functional as they are chic aren’t actually that difficult to master.

You see, the winter chill in the air poses the perfect opportunity to not only invest in staple pieces that help you contend with the bleak weather, but to also have fun with layering, to try out new trends and pile on the party-ready sequins with pride.

This month, the high street is brimming with stylish pieces designed to ensure you stay warm while simultaneously preserving your sartorial prowess, from quilted coats and cosy jumpers to chunky boots that promise to make light work of icy pavements.

When it comes to bagging the most stylish pieces for upcoming festive bashes, now is the time to start shopping as by now all of your favourite shops have stocked their rails with a menagerie of sparkles and sumptuous velvets to get you party ready – think glittering midi-dress, swanky tailoring and pearl-encrusted hair accessories.

To help make getting dressed in the coming weeks that much easier, we’ve scoured our favourite stores to find the best new pieces that will help reinvigorate your winter wardrobe.
