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.The jacket
Rebecca Gonsalves: While eschewing a top is certainly sexy, I can't help but worry that Naomie will get a chill on her kidneys.
Mike Higgins: This is a look I think a red-blooded male could reclaim: debut it at the office Christmas party and ignore the titters of envy.
The bag
Rebecca: This pattern is something of a Rorschach test, isn't it? What do you see? If you answered Redrum, seek help!
Mike: Nothing more bulky in that bag than an Oyster card and a stiffie invite. Quite right, too, with an outfit as sharp as this.
The shoes
Rebecca: The daintiest hint of a ballerina detail in the strapping ensures these jazzed-up courts are really en pointe.
Mike: Worn with the élan of a woman who knows that the complexion of her upper foot matches that of her face.
The trousers
Rebecca: I love the band of tangerine at the hem – but is such a high waist combined with a revealing jacket a bit Victor Meldrew?
Mike: My bin men love a bit of fluoro trim at the hem – but in their case the lower waistline promises more than it delivers at 8am every Friday.
