Meet Mark Bryan—a straight & happily married guy who enjoys donning skirts and heels every day
Meet Mark Bryan, a 63-year-old German engineer who is challenging gender stereotypes by embracing high heels.
Although originally designed for men in the 10th century to add height and style, high heels have become almost exclusively associated with women. Mark is part of a growing trend of men who are reclaiming this popular type of shoe for themselves.

Mark shares his thoughts on the normalcy of his clothing practices alongside his diverse outfit posts.
The 63-year-old father thinks that clothes should not be assigned to a specific gender. He prefers to wear skirts instead of dresses along with more “manly” tops. He believes that skirts offer a wider range of options than typical men’s pants.

His children are supportive of his viewpoint because he raised them with the understanding that clothing does not determine a person’s sexuality or gender. His daughter is excited to borrow some of his clothes, and his wife helps him choose his outfits.
Mark has faced criticism both online and in person due to his choice of clothing. He often has to remind people that they wouldn’t be asking such questions or making negative comments if he were wearing more conventional pants. However, not everyone is as empathetic as some.
