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 UK is currently in the midst of a blistering heatwave, with some parts of the country having experienced temperatures higher than Rome and Ibiza.
While the warmer climes are a welcome change for us Brits who are regularly plagued by dismal forecasts, it does spark the conundrum of what to wear.
If you’re lucky enough to be able to spend hot days basking on the beach or in a beer garden, the daily decision is a little less complicated – think mini dresses, strapless tops and Hawaiian-style shirts inspired by Richard Quinn’s spring/summer 2019 offering.
But, if you find yourself facing a sticky commute followed by hours sat in a stuffy office, knowing what to wear requires much more critical thinking.
The answer is to arm yourself with a collection of reliable staples that, while inherently stylish, will keep you cool throughout the day.
Inspired by the catwalk designs of Dior, Valentino and Roksanda, we’ve noticed a trend on the high street for breezy midi dresses and floaty skirts, while tops with milkmaid sleeves – as seen on the runway at Alexander McQueen – should sit high on your shopping list.
To help make getting dresses in the coming months easier, we’re keeping you up to date on what’s new from some of our favourite stores this month.
