For the past three years, teenagers across the country have tested the limits of propriety--and school dress codes--with girls in ultra-low-rise jeans (often paired with a peekaboo G-string) and itty-bitty graphic Ts. Boys have opted for baggy denim, athletic jerseys and hooded sweatshirts. But the de facto uniform is finally changing. Teens describe their new look as "simple" or "clean" rather than preppy.

Jenna is, like, so not cool. Her only solace is to wish of a future circumscribed by her favorite...
...you’re looking to move beyond nachos and burgers, 109 Brookline offers some more upscale entrees in addition to tried-and-true bar favorites. In sharp contrast to the sea of denim that greets you at most of the other restaurants, the hosts at 109 Brookline sport black slacks and white shirts that would seem more at home in Back Bay.
