While trying to figure what the heck winged humanoids wear, and how I really just want my Celestials to look like normal humans most of the time, I don't want them always to have wings anyway, I decided they should just have an innate spell or spell like ability that conjures forth wings.
So ta da
Ethereal Wings - A level 3 Conjuration spell - this spell conjures forth a pair of ethereal wings for a number of hours equal to one's caster level allowing them to fly. Angels can use this spell at will with an unlimited duration.

But ethereal means the wings are invisible and insubstantial and can pass through normal matter and won't be seen. Part of what makes angels nifty is their glorious wings. If they can't be seen, they lose a bit of cool factor. The ethereal nature of the wings would let them move about on the ethereal plane though and unaffected by wind speeds.

Aw snap. I totally forgot that etherealness included invisibility. I wanted them to be visible, just insubstantial. It's just that their wings can pass through their clothes and objects. I guess that would be incorporeal, but Incorporeal Wings doesn't sound very amazing, and ghost wings sounds pretty cool but does not give that celestial image I'm imagining.
So, incorporeal wings, then.
Lots of Angels have the Change Shape (alter self) SQ. Just give it to any that don't have it. Problem solved.

I know this may sound kind of lame, but I wanted to make angels wearing shirts make sense, so that's the whole reason for incorporeal but glowing wings.
Polymorph spells modify equipment to accommodate the new form of the wearer. So an angel using Alter Self to look humanoid will have a shirt and armor without holes in it.
