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.Whether it’s a Revlon hair styler or a baked feta pasta recipe, when something blows up on TikTok, it’s hard not to notice it.
From the viral Maybelline sky high mascara that sold out everywhere, to an £11 lipstick that claimed to be completely smudge-proof, TikTok is the destination for discovering must-have fashion and beauty buys.
Most recently, high street trendsetter Zara has captured attention with a pair of hot pink wide-leg jeans that are currently dominating the platform as well as Instagram.
Back in 2012, Kate Middleton showed her support for team GB during the London Olympics while trying her hand at hockey in a pair of pink skinnies. Naturally, sales of blush-hued bottoms surged for months afterwards.
Revived for spring 2021, Zara’s brand new offering is the perfect iteration for spring and summer. The contemporary fit of the pair is high-rise with a wide leg, as Nineties style continues to dominate both social media and the catwalk.

Part of Zara’s Join Life sustainability scheme, the pair is bold, bright and striking – perfect for refreshing your wardrobe and easing yourself out of loungewear.
As limited sizes are available at the moment (though more stock is expected soon), we’ve also rounded up some great high street alternatives that are just as eye-catching and colourful.
You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent.
