How To Style OTK Boots For Every Age

It's a very exciting day at Mirror & Thread because I get to collaborate with the most beautiful human in the world... who just so happens to be my sweet momma! :) 

She called me one morning to say she wanted to spend some Christmas money on Over-The-Knee (OTK) boots but was worried she was too old.  Of course, I responded with a resounding "NO! You're not too old!" and then insisted that she join me on the blog to style them just to prove it. 

She's certainly not the first person I've heard say "I love those boots on you, but I just don't know if I could wear them." So, I'm here to tell you.. YOU CAN. They are a great classic and are flattering on many body types because they make your legs look longer (hallelujah!). 

We both styled them for a more casual/everyday look and a dressier look. So, whether you are 27 or 47, you can rest assured that you look sleek, classy, and age-appropriate in your OTK boots!

Mom's boots are from Goodnight Macaroon, and they fit true to size.  She was very pleased with the quality and fit of them! Mine are from Nordstrom and also fit TTS, but they have quite a few sizes sold out so I've linked similar pairs here and here. There's some great sales going on for boots at multiple retailers now too so it's a great time to purchase this classic piece. You will get tons of wear out of them for years to come!
