With an audience of 400 million users typing in search requests, Pinterest has access to trends in the making. This morning the company made public its predictions for 2023 for various industries. Topping the fashion list is Airy Styles—not to be confused with Harry Styles, of course.

A close relative of “fairycore,” this diamond-dusted trend combines sparkle, ethereality, and sensuality across genders. Angel wings are optional. Sheer fabrics like lace and tulle can be worn to expose the body (marking a softening of the bare-all Y2K trend) or in more romantic ways. The idea, it seems, is to let the imaginary take flight, and fantasy soar.

Explore the trend in Vogue’s newly created Airy Styles board, here.
