Lo-Cut DM’s with shorts
I wear DM boots with shorts all the time. Just sorta experimenting to see if I can wear lower cut ones too. They didn’t really look or feel right without socks, but I’m not sure they look good with them either?

I think you can but maybe I’d switch out the shorts to a darker and wider pair
Also I’m not sure how well Nike socks go with docs. Do you have any brandless white socks?
Yeah I never actually realised until this photo how tight those shorts are! To be fair, they’ve just come out of the wash. Agreed on the socks, I have plenty of plain pairs, I just threw those on.
But in general you think it kinda works? I have the same shoes in brown which may actually work better.
I think the idea works! Yes you can wear docs with shorts and long white socks
Something I do with my doc derbies when wearing shorts is either pick a thicker sock to complement their chunky silhouette or scrunch my sock down my ankle a bit for the same sort of effect. Either way, doc derbies with socks isn't impossible at all but much like charlie I would rec against nike socks and pick something in a darker and more neutral tone like olive or charcoal grey. Lots of folks wear derbies with no show socks as well.
I have a friend who wears docs and socks with shorts and yeah wider black shorts would work
Yeah will definitely go for chunkier socks, thanks man
