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 Emporio Armani: T-shirt pounds 35, brief pounds 17.50 Perhaps a bit over-priced for cotton underwear, but these are quality garments with a designer label thrown in. Available in small, medium, large. From Armani stores; enquiries on 0171-581 8009

2 Calvin Klein: grey marl bra pounds 10.50, briefs pounds 7 Calvin Klein wins on the competitive price front. This isn't this sort of bra that offers a lot of support, but it does create a very soft line for wearing under T-shirts. Available from House of Fraser stores

3 Knickerbox: cream chemise, pounds 17.99 This viscose/cotton ribbed shift may not be practical as an undergarment but would be great for sleeping in. From Knickerbox branches nationwide. Enquiries on 0171-284 1744

4 John Smedley: top, pounds 21, boxer pounds 27 Luxurious twosome in Sea Island cotton. Big knickers seem to be a key trend in underwear; these ones are ribbed at the waistband for an extra smooth look. From Simpsons of Piccadilly, London W1, or mail order on 01629 534 331

5 Muji: camisole three-pack pounds 14.50, with matching high-cut briefs pounds 9.50 Outstanding value from the Japanese shop that gives us useful, stylish basics. Many a girl can be seen dancing the night away in these vests. From Muji stores; enquiries: 0171-494 1197

6 Knickerbox: black vest with lace trim pounds 12.99, pants pounds 9.99 Again these "hot pant" style knickers are very popular. They're also soft and durable. From branches of Knickerbox

Stylist: Charlie Harrington
