As it is such an auspicious occasion, you should defiantly wear socks with the crocs - black to match dinner suit.

I've recently learned that in some peoples eyes brown crocs are acceptable with a black suit. I'm glad that you are upholding standards though. Socks, yes, preferably those grey sports ones that come in bundles of 10 in Wallymart.

It's such a difficult choice. I'd suggest a compromise, one sock (colour immaterial but preferably one which glows in the dark) and one bare foot, perhaps with red nail polish if that's your style.

Hope this helps.

Festive socks will lighten the sombre effect of the dinner suit and black crocs - it is Christmas after all!

Make sure your bow tie lights up for a chic but light-hearted twist on the James Bond look.

Kind Regards,
Gok

Remember, Crocs aren't just for Christmas. They are also suitable attire coupled with a wife beater, and Y fronts on Boxing Day, sat in your favourite chair, scratching yer man bits.

Merry Christmas one and all!
