I mostly wear these shoes for work, but I've worn them with jeans and they look great with formal or casual styles.  They are high (even with the platform) so you have to be used to wearing and walking in heels or you'll be uncomfortable.  I also loved that they are not the glossy shinny style like 90% of the rest of the black pumps out there. I'm very picky with how shoes are assembled and I could not find one defect on these shoes. Overall I love them and I'm happy with my purchase.
