The Fashion Audit: Slippery feet / Downton pouts / American bride
What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
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.We love... Slippery feet
Flat-footwear-loving shoe shoppers will no doubt already be familiar with Pretty Ballerinas’ signature pumps. Following on in its comfy footsteps is Pretty Loafers, specialising in, you guessed it, loafers. The first collection features 58 fab designs that prove it’s hip to be flat.
£209, prettyloafers.com
We’re not sure about... Downton pouts
Downton Abbey made a long-awaited return last week, but far-fetched money spinners have not been so well received. We’re fairly sure early 20th-century ladies did not use lip gloss.
£9.50, marksandspencer.com
We’re buying... Missoni’s mates
Men’s denim is not exactly breaking any style barriers. But a new collaboration from Jean Machine featuring cosy knitted inserts and pocket details courtesy of Italian brand Missoni, promises to keep things interesting.
Jacket £340, thejeanmachine.com
We can’t wait for... American bride
Supermarket isn’t a term often associated with dressing for the big day, but the arrival of US store David’s Bridal with a behemoth Westfield Stratford location is set to change all that. It’s a one-stop shop for the entire party; bride, maids and mum.
Opens 3 October. davidsbridal.co.uk
We’re saving up for... Autumnal offerings
Erratic weather plays havoc with even the most sartorially settled, so accessorizing well is extra important as the seasons change. This beauty in autumn-appropriate claret is just the ticket.
