Over the knee (OTK) boots have become popular the past couple years especially for the young generation. What about us inbetweeners? Are we too old for over the knee boots? Not at all! If you are an inbetweener and want to rock the OTK boot look just remember to follow these four rules for wearing these boots appropriately. These boots don’t have to be exclusive to a younger generation. With the right outfit and boot selection, the OTK boot worn over 40 is a polished, classy and fashionable look. Here’s how to achieve the most flattering look at middle age in an OTK boot style:
- Watch the hemline – when pairing with a skirt or dress, choose a mid-length where the bottom hem of the skirt is slightly below the top of the boot. Don’t allow skin to show.
- Stick with classic colors and materials. Say yes to black and dark brown, suede and plain leather. Say no to blues, grays and patent leather or pleather.
- Don’t overdo the heel. Stick with a sturdy, not too tall box heel and stay away from a skinny kitten or stiletto heels.
- Wear with appropriate clothes. With a casual pair of skinny jeans and a long cardigan or a mid-length sweater dress. Don’t wear them with anything lacy or sexy.
By following these 4 age appropriate tips for wearing OTK boots you can certainly be appropriate and attractive as a stylish and trendy inbetweener woman.
