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 devil is in the detail

Gingham headscarves and printed frames lend a retro appeal to the spring wardrobe; woven belts provide a waisted silhouette.

It's all in the bag

Leather jelly bags and oversized granny purses provide a witty twist, or why not carry a more minimal envelope?

Hand me the jewels

Jewellery is increasingly ornate – both delicate and dramatic. Pile on necklaces, bangles and more.

If the shoe fits

Flames, fishnet and flats are all fashionable. Anything goes so long as it's extreme.
