(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Wading¹ through unwanted sales leftovers² in search of new spring buys can be tedious（沉闷的）. Enter the back-to-work tie, a style fix with minimum fuss（小题大做） that is both useful in the long-term and justifiable³ in the short.

Fretting⁴ about accessorising might be the least of Barack Obama's concerns as he moves into the White House next week, but his inauguration⁵（就职典礼） outfit⁶ will be keenly observed. So far the president-elect appears to favour ties with little decor beyond a diagonal stripe. Further investigations⁷, however, reveal a sheen（光辉，光泽） coupled with a slight pattern. Jaeger's classy silver tie and Gieves & Hawkes's rich raspberry（覆盆子） number are prime examples of this look.

Meanwhile, Burton's steely tie is the ideal day-through-night choice. Popular shades include metallic⁸ blues⁹, lavenders and greys, which add a glossy¹⁰ finish to crisp white shirts. Rolled-up sleeves, Obama-style, are optional, though do look inexplicably¹¹ good.
