Fifties Style Wedding Dress

It was the glamour age of Hollywood and now the fifties has been voted as the decade where women dressed most stylishly – according to a new poll. The research, conducted by leading online casino RoxyPalace.com, asked 1000 of its male members in which decade of the last 60 years women appeared the most attractive.

Participants were shown images of traditional trends during the decades, scoring them in the order they found most stylist and attractive. Polling just under a third of the vote (32%), the 1950s were the gent’s clear favourite.

The noughties came second scoring almost a quarter of the vote (23%) with the swinging 60s and stylish 70s polling third and fourth place, scoring 16% and 12% respectively.

The mullet loving 1980s were revealed to be the decade women presented themselves in the least attractive manner, scoring just eight per cent of the vote, with the 90s only marginally missing out on the bottom spot by one per cent.

A spokesperson from RoxyPalace.com said: “The fifties were a marvellous age for glamour and style. When you think of the 50s you think of Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor and Ingrid Bergman. It was an age when women actually looked like women; there was none of the fake tan and false eyelash bravado which you see today. In the 50s make-up was there to complement a woman’s features and not to be caked on at will. The 80s coming bottom of the pile is no surprise. It was the decade which gave us the mullet, leg warmers and shoulder pads all of which live long in the memory but for the wrong reasons.”
