After months of bundling up in snuggly sweaters and warm winter coats, I'm finally ready to bring out the spring skirts! I personally feel that a girl can never have too many skirts, right? They make the perfect winter-to-spring transition piece and they can be easily dressed up or down for pretty much any occasion. And NO, skirts won't make you look 10 lbs. heavier, chica! It's all about finding the styles that work best for your body. From maxis to minis, shop the best skirt options for your shape here!

If you have large thighs
An A-line skirt is perfect for hiding fuller thighs and draws attention to your waist, making it appear slimmer. Tuck in a fitted blouse and pair it with ankle-strap sandals that will make your piernas look longer and leaner. Forever21.com, $23
If you have a tummy
Peplum skirts can work magic when it comes to hiding a pesky belly. Just make sure to choose one made of a soft, stretchy fabric. A stiff peplum skirt can make you look fuller and wider than you really are. Pair it with some nude peep-toe pumps or strappy heels that will help elongate your legs. Target.com, $20
If you have killer curves
If you’re comfortable with playing up your curves, try a stretchy pencil skirt that will show off your hips and booty, while slimming down those "problem areas." Try it in a fun print style with a solid colored top and heels. Asos.com, $30
If you're slim
Midi skirts are one of the hardest to pull off. But if you're skinny, the tea-length trend might just work for you! Give the retro style skirt a modern touch by pairing it with a slimmer fitting top and accessorizing with bold pieces. I love the way these skirts look with ankle heeled booties! Modcloth.com, $70
If you're tall
Maxi skirts look great on a lot of women, but especially on long-legged chicas. Make sure the skirt is long enough–hitting no shorter than a half inch from your ankles. Keep the look fashion forward by layering a denim vest or cute cardigan over a basic tee. This style looks best with flat sandals. JCpenney.com, $30
If you're short
If you’re 5-foot-4 or under, mini skirts are your best friend. But to keep your look classy and age appropriate, try to avoid skin tight minis. Choose a style that’s slightly A-line and wear it with some cute flats, wedge sandals, or ankle booties. I’d also pair the skirt with a high-neck blouse that’s a little loose, or even a light sweater to balance the skirt’s sexy factor. Asos.com, $27
If you're slim or curvy
The great thing about pleated skirts is they work on most body types, whether you’re slim, curvy, or even full-figured. If you have a tummy, look for a style with a higher and wider waistband that hits right at or slightly above the knee. A tucked in top, high-heeled sandals and even flats make the perfect compliments. Americanapparel.com, $54
