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.

Bonfire Night festivities are about much more than straw dummies, sparklers and firework displays as - for the more sartorially dedicated among us - it also sets light to the cold-weather accessory discussion.

As temperatures plummet, tonight marks the perfect excuse to breathe new life into your new season wardrobe; think super-soft scarves, luxe leather gloves and chunky-knit beanies to ward off that winter chill.

Rather than hunting through your drawers for that worn and torn, mismatching set you already own bring some woolly cheer to your wardrobe with some serious winter style wins.

For us Brits, cold-weather accessories are a mainstay through the cooler months as unpredictable weather cues sartorial confusion. Luckily for us though, the high street are throwing up a whole host of fashion favourites that promise to keep you warm whatever the weather throws at you.

Feeling the chill? The first thing we reach for as the temperatures begin to drop is a scarf and this season they come in luxe pastel shades and fashion’s favourite faux fur. As always classic autumnal hues of mustard and burgundy win out with modish checks thrown in for good measure.

Gloves tend to be a point of contention as we’re forced to make the choice between chic leather and a cosy knit; either way, the new season pieces are lashing in style with on-trend leopard edging, cashmere and shearling trims.

Top it all off with a hat too but, rather than pulling on that raggedy beanie, go with something a little more stylish. If you can’t bear to part with slip-on styles, pick a hat crafted from a chunky knit, topped with a twee pom pom or better still, embroidered to the nines. Other big style wins come in the form of fedoras and structured felt riding caps.

Keeping warm has never been so stylish.
