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.For once, working women don't have to do much to their working wardrobe to be at the pinnacle of fashion. Designers have taken inspiration from the boardroom, and the pinstripe suit is the outfit for autumn/winter 1997.
As every office girl has known for years, however, pinstripes do not necessarily demand designer prices. This navy and white pinstripe trouser suit from the Freemans catalogue sells for an extremely reasonable pounds 105, a snip in comparison to its catwalk counterparts, 10 times that price.
This is a fashion trend that, untypically, fits in with the day-to-day dressing of working women. The added bonus for busy women is its mail- order accessibility.
The single-breasted jacket is fully lined and cut into a neatly fitted shape to flatter those from size 8 to 18. Team it with either a straight- leg matching trouser for pounds 35, or a sleek pencil skirt at pounds 27. Wear with a modern knit (polo-neck or v-neck) for a contemporary feel, or go for classic style with a simple white shirt. Finally, team with knife-point stilettos and clutch bag for real "office bitch" status
