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.About 10 years ago, John Galliano showed football strips on the catwalk. At the time everyone thought this a little odd. Now, a decade on, the 'sportswear look' regularly reappears on the catwalk. For this spring/summer, many designers (especially the Americans who love this sort of thing) paraded zip-up hooded tops - posh sportswear. But getting this look shouldn't cost you too much. Most people have the basics in their wardrobe anyway, so just wear your normal gym-kit (but preferably not all of it at once) but look clean instead of sweaty.
