Color is everything--wearing certain shades can help you land your dream job, have a great first date, and even look 10 lb. thinner (shocker: the answer's not black!).
When it comes to choosing colors for your hair and skin color, most of us gravitate to the shades we *like* best, without knowing for sure that they flatter. Here's where a professional stylist comes in--they objectively know what colors will look best.
We spoke with one to get to the bottom of it: so, which color is best for blondes??

The answer is red!
Trunk Club stylist Patty Christie explains that the bold shade is her go-to for blonde clients.
"While black is my favorite universal color on everyone, my favorite color for blondes--hands down--is red. Whether it's a cool layering piece like a moto leather jacket or a killer dress, red makes every blonde pop."
Love it! But wait, there's more...
