Skinny jeans really never did appeal to me because I thought they would just be too tight-fitting and restrictive. I suppose “tight” is the point, but the “restrictive” part wasn’t what I was after.
However, after trying out the Aventura Blake Skinny Jeans, I realized that tight and restrictive don’t necessarily go hand in hand. While these definitely have a snug fit, there’s enough stretch in the fabric (cotton and Lycra) that they’re comfortable even sitting on a long plane ride.
What I Love
- They pack down smaller than my other jeans so they’re perfect for travel.
- The tight fit around the ankles means I can wear them tucked into my favorite shoes – my purple cowboy boots.
- The material is thin enough that these are great for wearing in the spring or summer.
- If you don’t have purple cowboy boots, they’re also perfect with Mary Janes or sandals.
The Blake Skinny Jeans are available in several colors including Beaujolais (reddish), Twilight Blue, Black and Fossil.
I’ve got the Black ones which are not a true black but more of a dark denim. These darker jeans dress up well with a nice top.
Aventura Blake Skinny Jeans are available at Aventura or on Amazon starting at under $30.
Can you tell I’m hooked?

Disclosure: Aventura provided these jeans to me for review. Regardless, everything I have said in the post reflects my honest opinions.
I love black skinny jeans for travel! I have a stretchy pair too, that are really comfortable – comfy enough for a red eye. I also love them because I can wear them with flats, heels, and boots (as you said), so they are super versatile, which makes them perfect for travel in my book 🙂 Enjoy your new jeans!
