Megachains for the Clearasil set may be crowding Newbury Street, but they aren’t the only ones staking claims. Chic local women’s clothier Tess & Carlos has opened up shop at 141A Newbury, providing a much needed revival of the street’s sophisticated, upscale bent. Like its sister outposts in Cambridge and Newton Centre, this T & C stocks polished workday wares that don’t sacrifice up-to-the-minute style, including elegant dresses and smart suiting from Neal Sperling and D. Bensussan, as well as knockout coats from Hache (one of the boutique’s exclusive lines). The well-lit, well-designed space and approachable staff make browsing its neatly displayed inventory of clothing and accessories feel like a grown-up outing—not an Ashlee Simpson concert.

141A Newbury St., Boston, 617-262-8377, tessandcarlos.com.
