The reason Crocs are so popular among casual enthusiasts and die-hard fans of new footwear is understandable once you've worn them. However, looking cool with this product is not easy because of its rigid and colorful design. If you're a person who really pays attention to style, but don't want to sacrifice comfort to look cool, you can combine comfortable and soft Crocs on your feet with various types of clothing, ranging from pencil-style jeans, hats, and other matching clothes.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Blending Crocs with Other Clothing
Step 1. Wear pencil pants to show off your Crocs shape
Trousers that are tight, straight, and taper down are great for showing off a slip-on without looking goofy. Loose pants with elastic at the ankles can also be a good option. If you're going to wear Crocs, better wear them with pride!
- Crocs also go well with capris pants and rolled-up trousers or cotton pants because they can make the contours of the shoes clearly visible.
- According to fashion experts, you should not combine Crocs with flared jeans or pants that are too baggy. Crocs' clumsy-looking shapes will look even weirder if they're partially closed.
Step 2. Match your Crocs with cute pants, dresses and skirts
Just like wearing trousers, you should pay attention to the ratio of your feet and shoes when wearing shorter clothes. Clothing that is slightly above the knee is best – it allows the eyes to transition easily from top to bottom without any noticeable gaps.
- The higher your hem line, the more space between your butt and shoe.
- Similarly, clothes that are too long often hang too low, but not low enough to look like a capris outfit. This will make you look stunted.
Tip:
If you decide to combine Crocs with a mini dress or shorts, wear printed socks to close the gap a bit.
Step 3. Wear a hat to balance the look of bold shoes
Crocs are arguably much bigger than most shoes. This means that your lower body will appear “full” if your upper body appears “empty”. A good hat can not only complete the look, but also provide a balance between the upper and lower body.
- A wide-brimmed hat can help eliminate disproportionate appearances.
- Don't wear flat-bills hats, beanies, and pickpockets because they will make you look childish as people generally think of these shoes.
Step 4. Make sure the Crocs match your outfit
No matter what clothes you want to wear when wearing Crocs, it is very important to see your clothes as a unified whole, just like any other accessory. As a rule, you should wear colors that match and don't wear clothes that collide with colors. The combination you use of course depends on your personal taste.
Solid black and white shoes are the easiest to match with a variety of outfits
Step 5. Wear Crocs shoes with casual clothes only
Crocs are casual shoes. For this reason, it's best not to wear it with collared shirts, formal blouses, and other well-groomed clothing. If not matched properly, these shoes can make a neutral outfit like a polo shirt look untidy.
- Crocs have the same category as flip flops. If you feel uncomfortable wearing sandals to an event or show, you should not wear Crocs to the event.
- Don't wear branded jeans or chinos to balance a casual and formal look. You will only look confused in determining the style of dress.
Method 2 of 3: Make Crocs Look More Natural
Step 1. Choose neutral colored Crocs if you don't want to stand out
Neutral colors like black, white, and dark blue will make your shoes not look too different from the clothes you are wearing. Grays, browns, olive greens, and earth tones can also complement an appearance that is dominated by neutral colors.
Crocs' signature bold, rounded design is so recognizable that wearing green or fuchsia Crocs will only make it stand out more
Step 2. Wear simple, monochrome clothes so you don't look too “crowded”
Since Crocs are usually sold in flashy colors, combining them with lively patterns, patterns and designs will make you look tacky. Let Crocs complement your main color scheme and keep your outfit unobtrusive, and vice versa.
If you buy Crocs in neutral colors, you have a little more freedom to choose clothes
Step 3. Add a little volume to the hair to balance the shoe size
Another way you don't look like a kid in your parents' sandals is to give your head and hair an extra touch. Try putting your hair in a high ponytail, putting it in a big bun, or ruffling it slightly to give it extra dimension.
- If you have naturally curly or curly hair, leave your hair as it is to balance your look.
- A more formal hairstyle, such as hair that is put in a bun or neatly styled, will look weird when paired with bold, flashy Crocs.
Step 4. Wear your Crocs with confidence
Crocs are usually looked down upon in the fashion world for being ugly, childish, and impractical. However, don't let that assumption discourage you from wearing your favorite Crocs shoes. In the end, Crocs are just like any other shoe. Be brave and enjoy the comfort of these shoes on your feet!
The best way to look stunning when wearing an outfit is to make sure it's the right size
Tip:
Remember, there are no rules about how to dress. If you like an outfit, just wear it.
Method 3 of 3: Using Crocs in Various Activities and Situations
Step 1. Wear Crocs when you need to do something
Crocs are perfect for casual things, like checking the mailbox, taking the dog for a walk, or going to the supermarket on the spur of the moment. The open heel and large space of the Crocs shoe make it easy to put on and take off, and are comfortable enough to stand and walk for long periods of time.
Crocs can also be used when you want to go to the pool or yoga class
Tip:
Leave your Crocs near the front door so you can put them on when you're out and about.
Step 2. Wear Crocs before working in the backyard
There are many gardening enthusiasts who are delighted with the flexibility and convenience that Crocs shoes offer. Unlike other shoes, Crocs will not stain when exposed to mud. They just need to be cleaned quickly to look like new again.
- When you're done with your activities, simply spray water or wipe your Crocs and store them until they're needed again.
- Crocs doesn't provide much stability. So, these shoes are not the best choice for serious outdoor work, such as mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, or anything else that requires solid footing.
Step 3. Change shoes to Crocs to stay comfortable at work
Crocs are a popular footwear choice among workers from a variety of industries, including healthcare, food service and hospitality. If you're used to spending hours every day walking, Crocs can be the perfect shoe to relieve tired and sore feet.
- Before you come to work in Crocs, double-check the dress code to make sure you can wear them.
- Crocs may not be the right footwear choice for a workplace that requires you to wear closed shoes as it involves open construction.
Step 4. Wear Crocs for activities in the wet
Crocs were originally designed as a boating shoe. This means that the Crocs insole and outsole are built for maximum traction. The shoes are tough enough to be worn in a variety of activities, from walking in the rain to extreme kayaking.
- Crocs dry much faster than other footwear due to the tough rubber material and lots of drainage holes.
- The holes made to allow Crocs to drain water quickly can be a drawback if you want to keep your feet dry. If so, you should replace your Crocs with waterproof bots.
Step 5. Buy Crocs with fleece to keep your feet warm in winter
There's no need to limit your choice of footwear to stiff, heavy shoes when it's cold. The upholstered crocs allow you to enjoy its signature comfort with added heat insulation that can make your feet feel more comfortable.
You can even walk in the snow while wearing the fleece-lined Crocs as the upper has a waterproof lining
