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.Transeasonal? Are you having a laugh?
OK, spring may not exactly be in the air, but whatever the weather, it's time to mothball the Christmas jumper (actually, don't bother – that's one advantage of acrylics).
So it's the power of positive clothing: dress for the weather you want, not the weather you have
You could look at it that way. But really the point is that even in the coldest weather, overheated shops, offices and public transport make layered dressing the smart option. Investing in a few canny pieces that can be built up or scaled down with the mercury is always a good idea.
Are you advocating those avant-garde modular pieces with zip-on/zip-off arms and legs?
No. Are you? I'm more a fan of fine knits and coat-igans. This lightweight, long-line knitted jacket is thin enough to slip under a heavy coat when it's really cold and will do for a stand-alone cover-up when it's a bit milder (above, £130, hush-uk.com). Even better – from Tuesday it will go on sale at £90. Alternatively, 2nd Day's salt- and-pepper drapey knitted Bomba cardi is perfect layering material (£189, day.dk/uk)
