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.

If you are shopping for going-out tops, then a Lurex one would be a good buy. With seasonal parties in mind, glitzy tops are nice and Christmassy. The stretchiness of the fabric means that they are easy to wear. Plus, if you're going out on the town straight from work, you can carry one around in your bag all day, pull it on at night, et voila, no creases. Karen Millen have a good selection, as do most of the high-street shops - so you don't need to spend lots on a designer version. If you choose a simple shape and colour it should last you more than a couple of parties. Prada showed Lurex tops in their Spring/Summer '98 collection, so it is highly likely that we will all be wearing little Lurex tops well into next summer, too.
