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.

As the world's most famous frog knows all too well it's not easy being green. But, as mortals rather than muppets we don't have to worry about being entirely awash in the hue. This season though, there's a veritable garden of verdant greens from which to refresh your wardrobe. Forest Green is perhaps the easiest hue to introduce, especially if you usually favour black or navy, and a tailored wool jacket the simplest garment to pull off.

There is also a rich seam of military inspiration running through the season, with shades of olive and khaki being the most obvious way to channel the Officer look. Once again it's best to opt for smarter looks here - think dress uniforms rather than fatigues. Frogging was a big feature on the catwalk but might be a bit much for life on civvy Street.

If you do fancy something more casual, look to Burberry Prorsum and Alexander McQueen's cosy use of soft textures from shearling to chunky knits to keep you warm this winter.
