I'd never heard of Aventura, until I got an e-mail asking if I'd be interested in reviewing the company's clothing. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure that it was my style. I'm more indoorsy than outdoorsy, and it felt kind of crunchy. But when I read about Aventura's sustainability efforts, I decided to give it a go; I certainly don't dress sustainably on a daily basis, but I was interested in whether or not I'd like the fabrics.
Thanks to Lauren for taking pics before dinner! |
After sending over a list of clothes that I liked on their site, Aventura sent me two pieces: the Easton dress and a pair of leggings. The first thing I noticed? Quality! The Easton dress has so many nice details with pintucks and the back yoke, and the fabric was incredibly soft. It had a great thickness and felt so comfortable to wear at the office all day. The leggings were super soft as well, and they have an amazing stretch. It was feminine yet functional, and not the assumed crunchy look I'd imagined; I was able to express my own style.
Aventura produces fashionable and comfortable clothing with a low environmental impact. They try to avoid chemical pesticides and choose organically farmed cotton. Over 75% of their styles use lower impact or sustainable materials. I wore a cardigan due to the A/C in my office, and I liked how the grey-green could go with a variety of different colors.
After these photos, I ended up taking the sweater off to have dinner with two of my friends outdoors in Nashville. See, I go outside! Zero complaints after wearing this dress all day, and into the night. I kept touching the fabric because it was so soft.
As for the leggings, I think they'll be perfect under a tunic or a dress, but they didn't pass my opacity test (bend over, look in mirror! LOL) as to whether I could wear them with just a tee or for working out. But the stretch and the seamlessness felt incredible and comfortable, so I will definitely be wearing them as they're the only grey colored leggings that I have in my closet. Note: Aventura let me know that their leggings are meant to be worn under dresses/tunics, not as pants, so FYI! :)
Overall, I loved the quality and the sustainable sourcing of Aventura clothing!
I wouldn't hesitate to shop this brand!
