So you’ve forked over the $4,000 it costs to purchase those insane denim chaps/boots from Rihanna’s Manolo Blahnik collab. Congrats! Now comes the classic question of how to style an item that combines stilettos, a rhinestone belt, and zero crotch.

Luckily, however, Rihanna has taken it upon herself to give potential consumers a slew of ideas about how to wear them.

There you have it. All those who own Rihanna’s highly expensive and impractical Manolo Blahnik thigh-high boots, there is officially a capital-r Right way to wear them.
