A married father of three loves wearing women’s clothing in order to challenge gender stereotypes. Mark Bryan, a 61-year-old American robotic engineer now living in Germany, describes himself as a happily married straight man who “loves Porsches, beautiful women, and incorporating high heels and skirts into [his] daily wardrobe.” Frankly, he looks fabulous!

- Mark believes clothes should be genderless. While many might think Mark is having an identity crisis, that’s not the case at all. He just likes what he likes and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks of it. “I dress like this because I can. Just to be different. I have always admired the women that wore tight skirts and heels. Not sexually, but the power they presented. I don’t dress to be sexual, but to dress like any professional woman would,” he told Bored Panda.
- No really, why should you have to wear “men’s” or “women’s” clothes? As Mark explained further, “To me, clothes have no gender. I prefer skirts to dresses. Dresses don’t allow me to mix the genders. I prefer a ‘masculine’ look above the waist and a non-gendered look below the waist. It’s all about clothes having no gender.” Totally get it!
- He doesn’t have a weird sexual fetish, if that’s what you’re thinking. There’s nothing sexual about Mark’s preferences and he rejects any insinuation otherwise. “I do this for non-sexual reasons. Men can wear this style without being labelled as gay or queer. I don’t act like a sissy, which is one of the most frequent comments I get from men. They just assume I’m gay and a sissy until they start talking to me,” he explained. “I am just an average, normal, straight, and happily married guy. I love beautiful women, Porsche, and I just want to incorporate a skirt and heels into my daily wardrobe.”
- Frankly, he looks amazing! The guy rocks high heels and skirts better than I do so I think it’s great! He shares his outfits on his Instagram page, which has more than 160,000 followers and growing. You go, Mark!
