English term or phrase: airy

When the new "Molded-fit" swimsuits were introduced in 1933, they were actually the answer to "nude bathing". An advertisement form then raved: "No other human device can even approximate that utter freedom, that perfection of fit, at rest or in motion, that airy but stricly legal sense of wearing nothing at all."
