From "curvalicious" to "pint sized," we've got springy looks for you.

When a new season hits, so does the shopping craze. Who doesn't want to spruce up their wardrobe for spring? This season, get the fit for your shape and give spectators a bad case of spring fever. Here's season-change fashion faves.

Plus-Size
Think curvy girls can't rock skinny jeans? Prove 'em wrong with Hydraulic Plus Size Ginger Skinny Jeans ($58.) The problem with most skinny jeans is their super-lowrise cut making the muffin tops a huge problem, but Hyrdaulic's come to the natural waist, showing off the curves in a sexy way. Pair them with an Emilia Blouse ($38) from B&Lu which is cinched in the middle, showcasing your sexy waist. Platform heels add some height so go for this season's strappy sandal with Alloy's Delphine Gladiator's ($34.50.) Finally, fight the last bits of winter chill with Old Navy's Belted Trench Coat ($34.50.) The belt draws attention to your waist, even bundled up.

Pear Shaped
If your body dilemma is being a little curvier on the bottom and tiny on top, don't fret. Start with a pair of trouser jeans like Alloy's Spoon Jean's Extend-Tab Stretch Trousers ($34.50 - $39.50.) A cut like this is sleek and straight but doesn't snug up and make your bottom half heavy. Pick a top that flows out at the middle like Forever 21's Leaf Print Chiffon Top ($13.50) which also has sweet details in the middle to draw attention to your teeny waist. A D'Orsay heel is open to show a little foot and make your legs look even longer so pick Jessica Simpson's D'Orsay Pump ($89.) Last, a swingy jacket pairs perfectly on top so pick one like Old Navy's Cropped Peacoat ($25 on sale.)

Petite
For you lil' gals out there, the trick is filling out and growing up. A minidress is your best pal, but try one that has tiers like Wet Seal's Multi Ruffle Dress ($26.50) to fill out your frame. Pair that with a belted jacket like Forever 21's Jasmine Slub Blazer ($14.50) to create curves where there were none before. Opaque tights are in, but they can make your legs look a little stubby so rock this dress with some sheer hosiery for length like L'Egg's Sheer Energy ($4.49.) And knee-high boots are hot, but try booties for a lengthening look. We're in love with Steve Madden's Peep Toe Ruffle Bootie ($179.)

Hi Tyra! Honestly, I love fashion and I'm very petite. That's why I decided to post a comment on this link. Truth is, I'm soo heartbroken! I just went to the cw website to see if i could apply for antm, but i couldnt. I'm definitely under 5'7'',at a proud, prissy, and petite 4'9''! [laughs] However, I'll only be 17 on the 25th of this month. I really dont want to put my life story on your comments, so i would really, really appreciate, if you actually get this, if you could maybe get your "peeps" to email me or reach me on myspace at myspace.com/alwaysbeyourself. Thanks Tyra, I really hope you see this! -alexiskolbie
