Iridescent ties

（单词翻译:单击）

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.
