Mark Bryan, a 61-year-old German engineer, isn’t afraid to challenge gender norms. Though “high heels were initially intended for men,” Mark embraces them and other traditionally feminine clothing, reclaiming fashion choices beyond gender.

A father of three and a robotics engineer, Mark has gained nearly 660,000 Instagram followers for his bold outfits. His looks often include “pumps, boots, and skirts,” paired with tops he considers more traditionally masculine. He believes “clothes should have no gender” and enjoys skirts for the variety they offer compared to standard pants.

Mark’s family supports his choices. His children understand that clothing doesn’t define sexuality or gender, and his daughter “is one of his biggest fans, waiting for the day that she can borrow some of her father’s clothing items.” His wife even helps him pick out outfits.

Despite his confidence, Mark faces criticism online and in person. He often reminds others that they wouldn’t question his clothing if he were wearing traditional pants.

By blending fashion, self-expression, and family values, Mark Bryan challenges stereotypes and encourages a broader understanding of style: “Clothes should have no gender.”
