By A Mystery Man Writer

Spring 2016 is full of terrific fashion trends, but if you look at the runway and think you're too petite to pull off those bold pantsuits, flared jeans, and cropped jackets, and yes, horizontal stripes, think again. Here are eight spring outfit ideas that are ideal for women from 5' to 5'5" as modeled by our favorite petite stars, whose senses of style are anything but small. (And hey, if you're above 5'5", these will totally work too!) At 5', Janelle Monae packs a punch in a bright red pantsuit with matching cage sandals. Reese Witherspoon—5'1"—proves that flares work for shorter women as well as tall. She paired hers with a cropped jacket, printed top, and feminine accessories. Emma Roberts, 5'2", pays tribute to the '90s in a spaghetti-strap top and cropped trousers. She adds pop with red sandals. Also 5'2", Sarah Hyland gives the Taylor Swift-approved matched set a 2016 update. More '90s goodness: Dakota Fanning, 5'4", brings back the lace-trimmed camisole, paring it with an embellished black skirt and gold ankle-strap sandals. Rainbow stripes have to be one of our favorite trends of the season. Meghan Trainor, 5'4", teamed her pencil skirt with a black blouse and platforms
