No woman's wardrobe is complete without the perfect pair of jeans. For Fall, we'll admit there are many worthy of adding to our closets — the kind that will make even the most classic straight-leg-denim fans converts to this season's bolder textured and printed pairs. That's not to say there isn't a place for the tried and true, like a great pair of skinnies or a leg-flaunting pair of flares that you'll return to again and again, but Fall also means embracing moodier florals; embroidery; waxed and leather-coated denim; and rich hues like olive green, burgundy, and cherry red. We know it sounds like a lot, but click on. You're just moments away from finding your perfect pair(s) with the help of our Fall denim field guide.

Finding the perfect Summer suit can seem like an impossible task, especially when you don't know quite what you're looking for. We're putting an end to all that with our ultimate guide to getting the right fit for your body. With the help of swimwear fit and style expert Audrey Jimenez over at Everything But Water, we're breaking down the best fit tips for every body type and the best styles to shop for your figure all right here. From curvier frames to athletic body types, we're helping to make sense of the endless swimwear options out there and narrowing down all of our favorite options that were made to fit and flatter your frame. Want to know what you should be looking for? Get the expert's quick-hit dos and don'ts, then click on to find your perfect suit — and resolve to never hate swimsuit shopping again.

Dos

• Do try on lots of different suits. Swim styles change all the time, so look outside of your comfort zone and you may find your new favorite silhouette.
• Do go with a smaller size if you are not sure. Swimsuits expand when wet.
• Do use ties and adjustable straps to fit the suit to your body. Go tighter than you think. Once tied, lean forward and adjust until your bust is covered and stays put.

Don'ts

• Don't choose a trendy silhouette if it doesn't fit you well. Great style begins with a great fit, so it's more important to find the silhouette that best flatters your figure.
• Don't assume a size larger or more fabric will give you more flattering coverage. Many women purchase suits that are too large, and as a result, the fabric gaps and the suits don't support properly. If you want more coverage, find a style that offers more coverage.

What better way to dress up your Summer wardrobe than with just that — the season's prettiest lineup of warm-weather dresses.

Now, we're transplanting those styles to our own closets, with a focus on the biggest trend takeaways and coolest details. From a '20s-inspired drop-waist shape to flirtier ruffled necklines and floral prints, we honed in on the hottest dress styles.

Whether you're ready to make a serious investment or just want to amp up your Summer sheath quotient, we promise we've got what you're looking for.
