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.New coat time. The only silver lining at the end of summer.
For many of us Brits, a new coat is a joy forever – or at least for a couple of autumns. Personally speaking, I'm loath to take my coat off between September and June for anything other than washing and sleeping.
Guess that would make even a Burberry mac a low cost-per-wear item.
If only. Although I've always thought the classic trench a little exaggerated as a suits-all. This may be because much of my wardrobe is the colour of Newport on a wet day, hence why I need something way more zingy than beige to compensate.
What are you suggesting?
This electric-blue, single-breasted felted wool number from Bruuns Bazaar is beautiful, bold and not bad value to boot (£349, bruunsbazaar.com). I like the idea of wearing it with Bruuns' matchy blue jumper, but it's also available in black if you're dull or your palette is, in fact, "Newport on a wet day".
Something a little less austere cut-wise?
Trenches aside, Burberry's burgundy Manningford coat looks wonderfully fluid, with just the right level of oversized-ness to seem casually chic when belted. Worth committing some kind of non-violent crime for (£995, my-wardrobe.com).
