I’m a straight man; how I dress has nothing to do with my gender- Man

Mark Bryan, a 61-year-old engineer from Germany, continues to turn heads with his bold fashion choices, regularly showcasing his love for wearing high heels and traditionally feminine clothing.  

It’s worth noting that high heels were originally worn by men. In the 10th century, Persian horsemen used them to maintain balance in stirrups. By the 17th century, heels had become a symbol of power and prestige in European men’s fashion.  

Despite being a father of three, Mark hasn’t let societal expectations hold him back. He’s become a vocal advocate for breaking gender norms in fashion, proving that high heels aren’t just for women.  

Although he often wears skirts and dresses, Mark identifies as a straight man. He shared how his journey began: “I see clothes as genderless, and I love the freedom I get from wearing both men’s and women’s clothes. I first started exploring my style when shopping with my wife, and she suggested, ‘Why don’t we look at dresses and skirts?’”  

Regarding reactions from colleagues, Mark said, “They used to joke, ‘One day, Mark is going to wear a dress.’ But little did they know, I did in 2018. People are so ingrained with the idea that certain clothes are for men and others are for women. When you cross that line, they assume you’re gay. I’m a straight, cis man, and how I dress has nothing to do with sexuality. I love wearing what I wear.”  

His wife fully supports his fashion choices, adding, “Do I support Mark? Yes, of course. I think Mark would look amazing in anything, but he’s my husband after all.”
