From the dresses to own to the books to read, here's everything you need to know for a fabulous summer.

THE ESSENTIAL SUMMER DRESSES

It's a silhouette more or less synonymous with the season, and makes getting dressed so easy you should invest in an arsenal. Here are the ones to buy.

Petite

You're one of the lucky few who can pull off low coverage styles (think open back, no underwire or multiple cutouts). Speaking of underwire, if you're looking for curves, it'll help; high cuts lengthen your legs.

Hourglass

What works best for you are suits that define your waist. A self-belt ensures you don't get lost in a one-piece and is also trending. A retro bikini works, too.

A Bit of a Butt

The formula here is full coverage on the bottom and something fun on top. And by fun we mean crisscross halters, plunge necklines and a good dose of print.

Athletic

We all love the newly-popular scoop-back maillot, but you're going to look like a swimmer in it (fine if that's what you're going for). If you'd like a more feminine look, cutouts and ruffles help you fake a few curves.

Blessed on Top

Proper support here is key! Thicker straps and underwire are your friends, ditto for side coverage. Note: low-rise bottoms lengthen your torso.

Here are the titles everyone will be talking about—whether you're in a book club or not.
