It is not difficult to imagine why Crocs are so popular among fans of (casual) shoes as soon as you put them on. However, due to their clumsy and cartoonish design, it is not always easy to look nice with them. If you're the on-trend type but aren't willing to trade comfort for style, you can pair your cozy, soft Crocs with a variety of outfits by pairing them with tight jeans, hats and matching colors.

Method 1 of 3: Combine Crocs with other garments

1. Wear pants with a tight fit to show the shape of your Crocs. Skinny, straight and fitted bootcut styles are usually best for showing off your slippers without looking like you're wearing them to mock them. Loose pants that are tight at the ankles are also a good choice. If you're going to wear Crocs you might as well show them off proudly!
   • Crocs are also a good pairing with capris or rolled-up pants where the contours of the shoe are fully visible.
   • Fashion experts recommend against wearing Crocs with flared or overly baggy pants. A lot of people already think they don't look and it's even worse to partially cover them up.
2. Surround your Crocs with medium length shorts, dresses and skirts. As with longer pants, the goal of shorter garments is to achieve the just right leg-to-shoe ratio. Styles that hit just below are the winners in this department - the eye can then seamlessly transition from top to bottom with no disturbing gaps.
   • The higher the seam, the greater the no man's land between the bottom and your shoes.
   • Likewise, extra long things hang a little too low, but not low enough to create the sleek profile of capri pants. This can make you look stunted.

   Tip: If you decide to put your Crocs on with a short dress or shorts, consider putting on a pair of snazzy socks to shorten the distance a bit.

   
   
3. Put on a hat to balance your bulky shoes. Crocs are almost comically big compared to other shoes, which means that your volume can be mostly at the bottom if you don't have much at the top. The right headgear can not only complete the sought after look, but also restore the balance between top and bottom.
   • Wide-brimmed styles help with mismatched proportions.
   • Forget things like baseball caps, beanies and new types of hats, as these tend to enhance the childish look usually associated with the shoes.
4. Match your Crocs with the rest of your outfit. It doesn't matter where you decide to wear your Crocs, but it is important that you see them as part of a bigger picture, just like any other accessory. As a rule, you prefer colors that match and avoid colors that don't, but ultimately choose combinations depending on your personal sense of style.
   • Plain black and white shoes are easiest to coordinate with many different items of clothing.
5. Only keep your Crocs for casual outfits. Crocs are as casual as it gets. For that reason, it is better not to wear them together with blouses, trousers, formal shirts and anything neat. If you don't mix smartly, they can make even mean things like polos look sloppy.
   • Crocs fall into the same basic category as slippers. If you wouldn't wear flip-flops to a particular place or occasion, be safe and leave the Crocs at home too.
   • Don't use designer jeans or chinos to bridge the gap between casual and smart. Then you just look like you don't know how to dress.

Method 2 of 3: Making your Crocs look more natural

1. Choose Crocs in a neutral color if you don't want to make them stand out too much. Discreet colors like black, white and navy help keep your footwear from looking too different from the rest of your outfit. Gray, brown, olive green, and similar earthy tones can also keep outfits that have a more neutral color palette together.
   • Crocs' patented convex and bulky design is instantly recognizable, so choosing a pair in lime green or fuchsia will make them stand out even more.
2. Stick to simple, single-colored outfits to avoid looking too busy. Since Crocs often have bright colors, it can seem a bit raunchy to wear a pair with lots of bold colors, patterns or designs. Let vibrant Crocs supply or complement the main color scheme for your outfit and keep your other garments modest or vice versa.
   • If you bought Crocs in a neutral color, you have a little more leeway when choosing an outfit.
3. Give your hair a little more volume to compensate for the size of your shoes. Another way to avoid looking like a toddler wearing mum or dad's slippers is to put more emphasis on your head and face. Try putting your hair up in a high ponytail or big messy bun, or backcombing it a bit to give it a bit more dimension.
   • If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, let it go in all its glory to provide balance at the bottom.
   • More formal hairstyles like sleek buns and intricate updos might look a little crazy over a pair of soft, brightly colored Crocs.
4. Wear your Crocs with confidence. Crocs sometimes have a bad reputation in the fashion world for being ugly, childish or impractical, but don't let this discourage you from being seen in your favorite pair. In the end, they are just shoes. Just stand up straight and enjoy the luxurious feeling at your feet!
   • The best way to wear any kind of clothing properly is to make sure you wear it and not the other way around.

   Tip: Remember there are no real rules for how you dress. The only thing that matters is that you like it.

   
   

Method 3 of 3: Crocs contribute to a variety of activities and situations

1. Grab your Crocs if you have to run errands. Crocs are perfect for everyday tasks like picking up the mail, walking the dog or rushing to the supermarket. The open heel and spacious footbed make them easy to put on and they offer enough support to stand and walk for a long time.
   • Crocs can also be super helpful when you go to the pool or a yoga class.

   Tip: Leave your Crocs at the front door for easy entry when you need to leave.

2. Put on Crocs before you start working in the garden. Many gardeners love the feeling of freedom and convenience that Crocs offers. Unlike other shoes, they don't stain when they get muddy. You just need to give them a quick clean to make them look like new again.
   • When you're ready for the day, just rinse or wipe your Crocs and put them away until you need them again.
   • Crocs don't offer much stability, so they may not be the best choice for serious outdoor work like mowing, weeding, and anything that requires a firm footing.
3. Switch to Crocs to stay comfortable at work. Crocs are a popular footwear choice in many fast-paced industries, such as healthcare, food, and hospitality. If you're used to standing on your feet for hours every day, this may be just what you need to relieve your tired, aching feet.
   • Before arriving at work on a pair of brand new Crocs, check the dress code very carefully to make sure it is an acceptable type of footwear.
   • Crocs may not be allowed in workplaces where closed noses are required due to their partially open design.
4. Wear Crocs in wet and water activities. Crocs were originally designed as a boat shoe. That means that both the insole and outsole are shaped for maximum grip. They have enough grip to handle everything from a regular walk on a rainy day to a brisk kayaking session.
   • Crocs dry much faster than other types of footwear due to their supple rubber material and many drainage holes.
   • The holes that allow Crocs to dry so quickly can also be a drawback if you want to keep your feet dry. In this case, it is better to put on a good pair of wellies.
5. Invest in a pair of Crocs with a fleece lining to keep you warm in winter. There is no need to limit your shoe choice to stiff, heavy boots when it starts to get colder. Padded Crocs allow you to enjoy the same signature comfort the brand stands for with an extra layer of insulation that traps heat for a cozier feel.
   • You can even stomp through the snow with your fleece-lined Crocs thanks to the fully waterproof top layer.

Tips

• In addition to shoe stores, you can often find Crocs at other stores, garden centers or even hardware stores.
• A pair of classic Croc's clogs will cost less than $ 30, making them as portable as they are affordable.

Warnings

• While you may be tempted to wear your Crocs all day, you can experience pain and discomfort if you keep them on for too long. Make sure to alternate the slippers with a shoe with more support if you plan on standing on your legs for more than an hour at a time.
