Can Patent Leather shoes be used for anything other than tuxedos?

Seems like there's a lot of hate for patent leather shoes on here. Hate for patent leather shoes aside, I'm wondering if patent leather shoes can ever work with anything other than a tuxedo? For the sake of argument, would it be conceivable that patent leather shoes could ever go well with jeans or khakis or a suit? I'm not really asking in a strict, formal sense, as if patent leather shoes ever "should" go with something like jeans, because the impression I get is that patent leather is only for tuxedos. I guess maybe I'm talking about pushing the boundaries of fashion?

can you tell me more about this? I put on a pair of shiny black shoes when wearing jeans and I wasn't sure how it might be possible to make that work

So, you're suggesting that black patent leather shoes could go well with dry denim and a black shirt and black blazer?
I guess I can see patent leather shoes worn casually as working alright in an all-black outfit.

I'm interested in hearing your ideas.

If for some strange reason what you say gets me all confused, I can always stick with black pants if I decide I really want to wear patent leather shoes casually.
