Fashion: Cozzie fan tutte
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.Modern swimwear is all about technology and performance. But the most the average holiday-maker needs is something to withstand a dip in the pool, and gin and tonic spillage. Here, we choose five low-tech, low-performance options that are more textured than sleek, more cotton than Lycra. Who wants to swim anyway? It's supposed to be a holiday. Styling by Sophia Neophitou.
