Temperatures are on the rise, the days are getting longer, and our winter coats have been properly stowed until next season. Only one thing could be true: summer is fast approaching. This also means that the need for chic city attire is at an all-time high–think fashion fit for steamy commutes to-and-from the office, afternoons spent picnicking in the park, and festive post-work soirées. We're not talking about resort wear here, either. Summer city outfits embrace the easy, breeziness of the season without going full on tropical. Instead of palm tree-printed dresses and statement swimwear, there are tailored linen separates, woven leather totes, and minimalist sandals. Below, it's a city slickers' take on warm weather dressing and it's all supremely chic.

Vogue's Summer-in-the-City Wish List:

• The Summery Suit Vest: St. Agni linen vest, $380
• The Thong Sandal: Reformation Jessie thong sandals, $128

Looking for a new dress but don't want to look as though you're beach bound? Enter By Malene Birger's two-toned, drop-waist maxi. Ensuring you stay casual yet cool, it looks great with Amanu Studio's barely-there black sandals and a raffia day clutch from Banana Republic. Shell jewelry, like Éliou's pendant necklace, is welcome, too. Similarly stylish is St. Agni's linen suit vest, a defining quiet luxury staple this summer. Turn to Suzie Kondi's blue-and-white striped skirt and a pair of Reformation thong sandals to end on a nautical note. Other summer tailoring essentials include J.Crew's mellow-yellow, cinched-waist blazer, a pair of lightweight linen trousers from Posse, and Mara Hoffman's oversized, button-up shirt.

For bohemian spirits on the opposite side of the sartorial spectrum, you'll find crochet tops from Diotima, Nia Thomas, and JW Anderson, which pair perfectly with Conner Ives' summer-friendly jeans to Dries Van Noten's printed poolside pants. Proenza Schouler's multi-colored, halter-top is also taking up prime real estate in our shopping carts, best worn with a pair of powder blue trousers from St. Agni and Reformation's strappy heeled sandals. Keep scrolling to find 12 summer-in-the-city outfits that capture that festive summer feeling.
