This Ethereal Aesthetic Will Turn Your Closet Into Wonderland

ethereal aesthetic airy styles pinterest predicts 2023

I am a girly girl to my core. Even in athletic shorts and a tee shirt, I always have dainty jewelry, glittery eyeshadow, or braids in my hair. The hottest trends of 2023 – from the Coquette aesthetic to the No Pants trend — are all about embracing your body and your personality in the most unconventional and beautiful ways. And my favorite aesthetic of the year (so far) is what Pinterest Predicts calls “Airy Styles”— not to be confused with what actual British people probably call Harry Styles.

Leading ladies like Legally Blonde's Elle Woods and Bridgerton's Kate Sharma exhibit strength and intelligence, without sacrificing any of their femininity in the process. Much like these heroines, the Airy Styles trend celebrates the complexity of traditionally femme looks while bringing in ethereal details I’ve dreamt about since I first watched The Lord of the Rings.

Spring is all about new life and new beginnings, so don’t be afraid to start fresh by adding some tulle, some ruffles, and some shimmer to your closet. Mix in some pastels and bold shades. Contrast it all with a modern edge. Whatever you do, treat your wardrobe with the Airy Styles renaissance it deserves. Welcome to Wonderland.

Are ruffles in style 2023?

Ruffles are definitely back in style. We love a ruffled blouse, but we’ll also always say yes to dresses, skirts, and pants.

​Is lace in style in 2023?

Lace is in style this year. While you can find it in overlays and outer layers, the real star of 2023 will be long sleeve tops that you can layer.

​Are maxi dresses in style 2023?

Maxi dresses are still going strong, but feel free to wear a voluminous babydoll dress on warm spring days. If you are looking for maxi dresses, feel free to swap your prairie-chic prints for shimmer or even some fringe.

The Basics

Materials

To achieve this aesthetic, look for materials that are naturally light to translate the weightless euphoria Airy Styles represents.

  • Silk
  • Tulle
  • Lace
  • Satin

Colors

Even though pastels are the primary colors here, you don’t need to stick to them if they don’t feel like you. Opt for the above materials in neutrals, neons, or toned-down shades of your favorite colors.

  • Pastels
  • Neutrals
  • Neons
  • Jewel Tones

The Extras

Hair + Makeup

Create a pastel eye makeup look that matches your outfit, or braid pearls into your hair. These kinds of accessories will add texture without any rough elements.

Tenniscore fashion is on the rise – but what is it? In a post-Challengers, pre-summer Olympics world, tenniscore means taking your typical athleisure to the next level.

Tennis as a whole has a very distinctive uniform, and the fashion world has realized that a lot of what’s worn on the court can also stun off of it.

This trend revival is private country club luxury at its core (very Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap), but it’s not so exclusive now. With big brands like Target, H&M, andFree People taking on tenniscore, everyone can sport it.

Tenniscore is primarily pleated skorts, polos, sporty white dresses, striped sweatervests, thick headbands, and sleek sneakers. I’ve rounded up 17 comfy-chic (and affordable) styles to help you get the look!

Gold Hinge Steel Pleated Tennis Skirt

Pleats are a quintessential part of tenniscore. Super-fine pleats (like the ones on this skort from Gold Hinge) are totally the way to go if you wanna nail the trend. This pick features stretchy spandex shorts underneath for added coverage, pockets on both sides, quick-dry fabric, and an adorable drop-waist detail to further flatter your figure.

The Pleated Tennis Skirt goes for $49. It is available in 21 different colors and sizes XS-XXL.

Free People Movement One More Serve Skortsie

What's better than a skort? A skort dress. This one from Free People is an absolute serve, boasting a playful strappy back and contrasting trim that'll have all eyes on you! The built-in shelf bra and shorts deem this tenniscore piece a true one-and-done since you won't need to layer anything underneath.

The One More Serve Skortsie comes in 9 colors and sizes XS-XL for $128.

Lou & Grey Sporty Mesh Zip Sweater

This luxe-looking $48 sweater recalls the sport with a fine mesh knit, cap sleeves, and a pointy collar that zips up. The stark white color is tenniscore's perfect match, as a lot of the aesthetic leans into opulence, and therefore, cleanliness. The wider waistband can be worn tucked in or outside of skirts or shorts, depending on your preference.

This Lou & Grey Sporty Mesh Zip Sweater is on sale for $48 (was $80) and is available in sizes XXS-XXL.

Golden Hour Santa Barbara Tennis Association Cotton Graphic Baby Tee

If you're a bit unsure about going full-out into tenniscore with a short pleated skirt, ease into the aesthetic by sporting something more subtle, like this graphic baby tee! The illustrative lettering on the front feels opulent as ever, even though this is a super-cozy and casual style you could wear every single day.

This tee is currently on sale at Nordstrom for $10 (was $24) and is shoppable in sizes XS-XL.

Abercrombie & Fitch YPB sculptLUX Polo Mini Dress

The polo collar! The zipper! The sporty material! This butter yellow dress from Abercrombie & Fitch has it all. It's crafted from their sculptLUX active fabric, which is designed to hold you in and sculpt your bod in the best ways. The half-zip detail along the neckline allows you to get a lil' cheeky with your look, too. This mini features built-in shorts so you can feel appropriately covered up when you're on the go.

The Polo Mini Dress is available in three other easy-to-match colors and sizes XXS-XXL for $80.

Adidas Gazelle Sneakers

Any tenniscore 'fit absolutely warrants a sporty sneaker to match, and the Adidas Gazelles answer that call to a tee. The flat soles echo that of technical tennis shoes that the pros wear, while the rest of the silhouette aligns with the modern shoe trends we're seeing today. The triple-striped design on the sides is undeniably iconic, too!

The Adidas Gazelle sneakers come in 16 other color combos for $120.

Venus Williams x Bombas Quarter Sock 3-Pack

You'll surely need some socks to pair with your tenniscore-approved shoes, and there's no question that these Bombas ones made in collaboration with *the* Venus Williams are the ones to snag! Venus employed her pro-level understanding of the sport to create these practical socks that boast strategic cushioning, arch support, and a sweat-wicking material to leave you with a cozy step – on and off the court.

This 3-pack of socks goes for $57 and is currently available in sizes S and M.

H&M Oversized Sports Sweatshirt

For the perfect sporty outer layer to work, it needs to breathe. Luckily, this oversized pullover from H&M boasts a fast-drying cotton fabrication that surrounds the entire look. Casual dropped shoulders and long cuffed sleeves add to the laid-back vibe of tenniscore, and the front even boasts a motivational message – "move" – to keep you going!

The Oversized Sports Sweatshirt is shoppable in 4 other colors and sizes XS-XXL for $35.

Gold Hinge Bone 2-Toned Tiered Pleated Tennis Skirt

This tennis skirt is uniquely designed with a more scalloped hem –rather than a straight one – which provides ample coverage for your every move! The two-toned colorway adds some visual interest without feeling too out-of-place, plus this pick has built-in spandex shorts with pockets for conveniently storing your phone and other courtside essentials.

The Tiered Pleated Tennis Skirt is $54 and shoppable in sizes XS-XXL.

Prince Pickleball Cable Knit Cardigan

Target recently collaborated with Prince for a very tenniscore fashion collection, and it's everything! This cable knit cardi is a definite staple for rocking the sporty trend on chilly days. The buttoned front allows you to wear this cropped cardigan buttoned up or unbuttoned, or you could tie this striped baby around your shoulders for a true touch of luxury! The blue and red stripes are so classic, too.

The Prince Pickleball Cable Knit Cardigan comes in sizes XS-XXL for $40.

Kate Spade New York Sweetheart Delicate Cubic Zirconia Tennis Bracelet

I love a tennis bracelet as much as the next person, but I don't always love how expensive they are. Luckily, this gold-plated design from Kate Spade is fairly priced at $128, and it has adorable little hearts instead of the classic square cut. It clasps easily around the wrist with a tongue-and-groove closure, so it'll stay on when you're out and about (or even making moves on the tennis court)!

Adidas Originals Cotton Blend French Terry Shorts

These terry shorts host a very vintage feel, which pairs excellently well with more nostalgic tenniscore pieces, like a polo tank or sweater vest! The Adidas logo and side stripes really seal the deal on the sheer sportiness of these bottoms as well. The elastic waistband hits high on the body, securing further with a drawstring.

The Adidas Originals Cotton Blend French Terry Shorts go for $45 at Nordstrom and are available in sizes XS-XL.

Athleta Momentum Seamless Polo Tank

This Athleta polo tank is clean, sleek, and summery – perfect for nailing down the more luxe side of tenniscore! It flaunts a seamless construction to ensure total comfort when you're wearing it. The silhouette is designed to fit snugly against your body, though take note that the fabric is fairly see-through. You'll likely need a racerback sports bra for extra coverage and support!

The Momentum Seamless Polo Tank costs $55 and is shoppable in sizes XXS-XL.

Prince Pickleball Cross-Back Pleated Dress

The contrasting white lining that adorns this sporty dress looks just like the lines on a tennis court. Your look will be a great match for, well, your next match! This wide-pleated, strappy-back mini is an easy 'pull on and go' type piece that'll look stunning for every outdoor occasion. It even comes in a bright red color that your doubles partner could twin in!

The Prince Pickleball Cross-Back Pleated Dress is available in sizes XS-XXL for $40.

Prince Pickleball Woven Mid-Rise Shorts

These mid-rise shorts feel oh-so 70's, and I am obsessed with the stark color blocking between the hem and the rest of the piece. They're an easy on-and-off, boasting a wide elastic waistband. They're made from a "sporty tech poplin" that emphasizes the utmost breathability.

The Prince Pickleball Woven Mid-Rise Shorts cost $30 and come in sizes XS-XXL.

Oomiay Tennis Huggie Earring

Turn your accessory game to total tenniscore with this sweet racket earring! The tiny charm dangles delicately from a snapping hoop, helping you step up your serve even more. This $55 piece is sold in one piece (as opposed to a pair, with two pieces), but when you bundle 3 or more Oomiay jewelry pieces, each one is just $33.

Girlfriend Collective Riley Sweetheart Dress

The compressive unitard lining under this athletic mini dress keeps your look collected and expertly sculpted, no matter what movements you're doing. The sweetheart neckline and strappy back elevate it to be more fashion-forward, so you could easily dress it up further with more formal outerwear and accessories.

The Girlfriend Collective Riley Sweetheart Dress comes in 5 colors total and sizes XXS-6XL for $88.

Soft Girl Season is upon us yet again, and we're taking it as our cue to trade in our leather for something a little lighter. What started as a blink-and-you'll-miss-it TikTok trend (albeit one of our favorites) has evolved into a yearly ritual of celebrating the softest sides of ourselves.

At its core, this ethereal aesthetic (AKA soft girl era) is known for romanticizing life, slowing down to enjoy the little things, and embracing all the frills and femininity. Aesthetically, her style is quite literally soft to the touch — so break out all of your velvet, lace, and fur!

In a post-Barbiecore world where Y2K is embraced more than ever, this year's soft girl is making her sweet return with an added infusion of girlhood elements. She's still channeling pastels, hearts, and bows while rediscovering everything we loved while we were young (lockets and butterfly clips, your time has come!).

Everything You Need For Your Soft Girl Era

Oomiay Bonbon Ring

Heart-shaped jewelry never looked so good! This colorful ring is essentially Claire's, but for grown-ups.

Nevermore Peekaboo Bow Tights

Featuring three soft girl staples (bows, pearls and lace!), these cutout tights are the epitome of the ethereal aesthetic. They'll take your bow outfit to the next level!

Made By Mary Oval Locket Necklace

Whether you're adding photos of your partner or your pet, lockets are the OG way to keep your loved ones close. Choose a classic style for unlimited layering potential!

Urban Outfitters Velvet Rosette Skinny Scarf

The options are endless with this rosette. Wear it as a choker, headband, or a belt – or even tie it around your ponytail!

Baby Gold Heart Hoop Earrings

We love this heart-shaped twist on the classic hoop earring.

Elsie Rosette Heart Necklace

This drape-y, layered necklace features details that feel extra elegant and feminine: fine ceramics and pearls. The additional bits and bobs make this piece perfect for the soft girl ethereal aesthetic.

Sock Candy Repeat Floral Sock

Wear your sandals year-round with an intentional sock choice. We love these ones from Sock Candy that feature a sweet print, delicate frills, and bows.

PDPAOLA Bond Necklace

This sweet padlock necklace is the perfect layering piece! Pretty and delicate, without being overpowering. Add a personalized touch with monogram details.

Dr. Martens Adding Platform Shoes

A little extra height is always a good idea! Embracing the platform trend has never been easier than with this pretty lilac shade.

Velvet + Textured Scrunchies Set

Oversized scrunchies are aesthetically pleasing *and* practical. Keep your style in place with a velvet or teddy hair tie.

Lolly Bracelet

The soft girl will never say 'no' to some heart jewelry. In this piece, a delicate heart clasp is joined by some eye-catching pearl beads that emit feminine vibes.

Ten Wilde Pave Pearl Initial Choker

Pearls are classic femininity at its finest, and we love this choker's personalized and shimmery touch.

Chillhouse Sea Siren Press-On Nails

Get a soft girl manicure in under five minutes with these press-ons! This sea foam color gives a part velvet, part glossy finish for added soft girl sweetness.

Free People Oversized Bow Choker

While bows are fun, we don't always have the energy to tie them just right. This clip-on bow necklace is lazy girl-approved!

Out From Under Ribbed Long Leg Warmer

These cozy leg warmers add some straight-up comfort to the ethereal look.

A New Day Elise Micro Handbag

Small purses speak to the delicate aspect of the soft girl's ethereal aesthetic. All this baby blue piece needs is a little bow tied on the strap with ribbon!

Casa Clara Penelope Earring

We adore the vintage feel of these oversized heart earrings.

Beaded Pearl Collar

Feeling like your outfit isn't girly enough? This removable pearly collar is here to save the day!

Tasha Imitation Pearl Beret

Bucket hats may be the topper of the year, but the beret is the feminine yet sleek accessory we all need.

Vagabond Delia Flats

Mary Janes flats are the soft girl's shoe of choice. They're a throwback to grade school in all the best ways.

Los Angeles Apparel Lace Ankle Sock

A few lacy layers are all that's needed to dress up your footwear this season.

Local Eclectic Marli Beaded Earrings

We love a beaded accessory moment, and these oversized bow earrings are a soft girl vibe.

Sandy Liang Regalo Socks

If 3D frills are a bit too fussy for everyday life, a printed design (like the ones featured on these bow socks) works just as well!

Urban Outfitters Textured Soft Headband

The soft girl aesthetic calls for simple, clean, and wearable hairstyles. This darling lace headband keeps hairs out of the way to enhance the look.

Emi Jay Sweetheart Clip

Clipping your hair back has never been so fun! This hair clip is adorned with beaded mini ribbons for some added balletcore vibes.

Our favorite dancing queens (Meryl Streep included) might be returning to the big screen for a third encore of Mamma Mia! and we’re already rewatching the first two movie musicals in preparation.

In an interview with Deadline in May of 2023, Mamma Mia! franchise creator and producer Judy Craymer said a third movie musical is in "earliest stages." She also shared that she has come up with a way to bring Meryl Streep back again.

"I don't want to over-egg it," she said of the unofficial news, "but I know there's a trilogy there…and I do think Meryl should come back, and if the script is right, she would, I think, because she really loved playing Donna."

"Of course I want to do it," Streep said during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival (via Deadline). Sounds promising to us!

Is Mamma Mia 3 happening?

Universal Pictures

Yes, Mamma Mia 3 is in its early planning stages! Christine Baranski just told The Hollywood Reporter that she's met with producer Judy Kramer, and that Kramer has plans for the third movie. "She gave me the narrative plotline of how it’s going to happen," Baranski says. "That’s all I can say! But, it’s not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Kramer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t put it past Judy Kramer to get everybody back together."

Universal Pictures

A third installation was first mentioned way back in 2020, during a Collider interview with Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried. Seyfried said she was on board — and at the time, she thought the rest of the star-studded cast would be too.

"Listen, every single person in that movie would say yes in a heartbeat because we want to hang out with each other," Seyfried told Collider at the time. "That's what we talked about last time, like did we ever think that we'd end up here again on an Island in Croatia?"

When will Mamma Mia 3 come out?

Universal Pictures

We don't have an official answer about when to expect this highly anticipated sequel. The project is in the "earliest stages," according to creator and producer, Judy Craymer. Cher also revealed to Entertainment Weekly that everyone is "talking about it," but she doesn't "know when they're going to do it."

Has casting information been shared about Mamma Mia 3?

Jonathan Prime/Universal Studios

While nothing's been made official, Amanda Seyfried just said something that made my heart skip a beat. She told ABC News she loves Sabrina Carpenter's music and dropped this admission: "If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I’ll make it happen."

But before she admitted that, the actress said something else that made me raise my eyebrows. "Everybody says it’s gonna happen, but I mean, I haven’t seen a script."

Cher is also eager to return to the beloved franchise and is rooting for Meryl to make an appearance again. "I keep saying, 'Meryl, you've got to come back,'" she said (via Entertainment Weekly). She also said she's told her, "'It'll be fun. You'll have a good time. You'll be able to sing.'"

I don't know what it'll take, but hope someone gets a script in Amanda Seyfried, Cher, and Meryl Streep's hands ASAP!

What is the first Mamma Mia about?

Universal Pictures

The first film follows Donna (Streep) and Sophie (Seyfried) as mother and daughter living on a remote Greek island. When Sophie is about to marry Sky (Dominic Cooper), she sets out to learn who her real father is after discovering it could be one of three men (played by Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, and Colin Firth).

Who does the second Mamma Mia follow?

Universal Pictures / NBCUniversal

Mamma Mia 2takes viewers back to 1979, where young Donna (Lily James) embarks on a series of adventures throughout Europe following her Oxford University graduation. On her journeys, she makes the acquaintances of Harry, Bill and Sam – the latter whom she falls in love with. In the present day, pregnant Sophie dreams of renovating a taverna while reuniting with her mother's old friends and boyfriends on a Greek island island.

TBH, we’re pretty happy that Mamma Mia! is far from over, and we can’t wait to see what the franchise has in store for us next. Stay updated on all the latest entertainment news with Brit + Co.

There's nothing ~normal~ about how much we love Normal People's Paul Mescal & Daisy Edgar-Jones. While it turns out we're not getting a Normal People season 2 (yet), the two actors are starring in some of 2024's biggest blockbusters (Twisters and Gladiator II, namely), and we've been soaking up their presences ever since.

Paul recently exhibited his ongoing friendship with Daisy at the Gladiator II premiere in Los Angeles. While he approached Brittany Broski on the red carpet for an interview, he recognized her from her recent 'Royal Court' interview with Daisy:

"You were with Daisy!" he chimed in excitingly. We just love this power duo!

Enda Bowe/Hulu

Daisy Edgar-Jones also revealed that she's remained incredibly close to Paul Mescal after their time on Hulu's Normal People. "Paul is one of my lifetime best friends," she says. "He’s an incredibly grounded person and I am too, I think, so it’s nice to be able to have those touchstones and those people you can laugh about it with and be lighthearted with. We met when I was 20 and Paul was 22; I’m so excited to see where we’ll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us."

But the coolest thing is that not only is Normal People special for Paul and Daisy, but they've also been able to see the effect of the show on its fans.

"The thing I love people saying the most is, 'It made me contact my ex,'" Daisy continues. "Especially when much older people say, 'I just wanted to reach out to the person I was with when I was 17 just to say you were a big part of my history and thanks for being part of who I am, the tapestry of my life.' And that I really love, because I’m a massive romantic."

Daisy recently revealed they bonded over their training for Twisters and Gladiator II.

"I did running lessons — isn’t that crazy?" she told Variety. "Actually, Paul [Mescal] and I were laughing about it, because he was training for 'Gladiator II' and I was training for 'Twisters,' and obviously he had to be huge and I was like, 'Don’t worry, I’m going to be right up there with you.'"
