If there's one thing all city girls have in common, it's that they mean business. Being polished and put together is written in their DNA, and their weekday and weekend wardrobes bear very little distinction. Not ones to waste time, city girls rely on sophisticated yet chic separates that can be paired interchangeably to fit their bustling schedules. Think an oversize blazer that can be styled with its matching trousers or baggy jeans. Net-a-Porter's workwear edit features all kinds of classic staples including blazers, button-downs, sleek sandals, and structured handbags, all of which are perfect for a stylish summer in the city (whether you live there or are visiting). Here are the 16 fashion finds I'd recommend to get the look.
