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.OK, so I've thought about this a lot and I might just about be ready to start thinking about the new season. Maybe.
Ah you're over the sales at last. Congratulations. Now the dilemma of where to begin on all the new stuff.
Exactly. One new piece seems to demand four others.
I hear you. So start with a medium-sized investment, which is to say more than a top, but less than a coat (like fashion Play Your Cards Right). For example, a bomber jacket. It's a key item for spring, but there were lots around last season, so it will slip it into your wardrobe without making everything else look old.
Was trying to sidestep the 1990s revival, actually; not so much that I remember it first time round as that first time round feels like five minutes ago.
Spring bombers are more cool daywear or cocktail hour than free party in a field, so fear not. I love this peachy quilted number from Hobbs (£129, hobbs.co.uk, pictured above). Or if you fancy combining the bomber with another big trend – florals – then Gap's printed bomber is a two-in-one update (£59.95, gap.co.uk).
