The father of three, Mark Bryan, is a 63-year-old heterosexual man who defies social conventions by adopting an unusual sense of style that includes wearing heels and skirts.
Bryan, a German robotics engineer who identifies as straight and content with his marriage, stresses that his clothing choices have nothing to do with his sexual orientation.
After being motivated to expand his collection of clothes by a shopping trip he took with his spouse, Bryan began wearing heels and then skirts in 2015.
Bryan finds support from his wife and children and maintains his confidence in his style despite the odd looks he gets from strangers.
While opinions on his fashion vary, Bryan’s story highlights the importance of breaking gender stereotypes in clothing.
