Absolutely nothing wrong with wearing heels or skirts. More men should be honest about it
I Am Just a Straight, Happily Married Guy Who Loves Wearing High Heels and Skirts as My Daily Wardrobe
High heels were first made for men and they started wearing them back in the 10th century, historians say. In our era, some men have gone back to wearing high heels, and heels on men have even worked their way into pop-culture. Recently, a 61-year-old engineer from Germany, Mark Bryan, started wearing high heels with skirts to his office and as his normal everyday outfits. His looks give people a push to ditch stereotypes and to never be afraid to wear whatever they want.
Here at Bright Side, we did love the looks that Mark shows off on his page, and we’d love for you to find out more about this man and his story.
Heels and skirts are more than just fashion attributes for this man.
Mark Bryan, a robotics engineer and a father-of-3, is an ordinary man at first glance. He’s normally busy with his work and family duties. But recently, he’s created a stir on the internet and created a following of about 200,000 on Instagram by sharing his exquisite looks, which are far from the ordinary “dad stuff.”
He started to radically change his wardrobe habits 4 years ago. His daily outfits now consist of red pumps, plaid miniskirts, and suede boots, which Bryan combines with midi and mini pencil skirts. While sharing his daily looks, he speaks out about how his clothing preferences are just as normal as anything else that he does.
His outfits make him feel empowered and more confident.
He prefers skirts to dresses, because, as he says, skirts allow him to combine looks and make them masculine-looking above the waist and neutrally-gendered below the waist. To him, it’s all about clothes having no gender. He said that with ordinary “male” trousers, people don’t really have many options for outfit variety, but with skirts, there are a wide range of colors and styles, and this is what makes him feel good about himself when wearing his outfits.
His wife and kids share his views and mission.
When he first spoke to his children about his outfits, he tried to explain to them that there’s nothing sexual in his way of building up his daily wardrobe and that it’s not about their dad being gay. His daughter is now one of his most devoted fans and she dreams of being able to borrow some pairs of her dad’s shoes.
His wife has always been supportive and she’s even helped him choose his outfits. As he says, his current style is inspired by Meghan Markle’s Rachel.
Mark has quickly learned how to deal with the public response.
He has experienced a lot of harsh comments and negativity about his fashion experiments. However, a lot of men at work and in public places confess that Mark is a normal guy, who’s able to carry on a really manly conversation and who acts masculine. If people start asking him about his sexuality, he always asks them if they’d be this interested in it if he wore pants. Though these questions can make him short-tempered, in the long run, he confesses that people around don’t really care that much about other people’s outfits.
Do you have favorite outfits that you would wear no matter what other people think or say?

Nothing "normal" about this creep!
Straight my ass
oh yeah? and why do you think so?
You are completely selfish and arrogant!!! Straight noooo way. You embarrass your wife and family!! And everyone who has to look at you cringes!!!! All because you are self centered!!! So you like dressing up? Do it behind closed doors when you're completely ALONE!!! Your an embarrassment and a scourge to your family and comunity... SHAME ON YOU!!!!
how dare you!
people can wear whatever they want no matter the gender!
You know, honestly you're the embarrassment. I'm sure you wear slacks or jeans. For the longest time those were considered men's wear. Over the years that has changed and is now acceptable for women now too. Heels were worn by men of great stature in the 1700's. Clothes are clothes. Clothes don't make the person. The person makes the clothes. I'm a straight male and father of 3 and I think what you wear is your choice. No person has the right to take that away from you. If they think they can, they are the self centered idiot that only has a problem with it cause some men can pull off the looks better than women.
No Colleen Webster, you are an embarrassment with your close minded, ignorant and arrogant attitude!!! Who are you to say what's going on in his town or family? Are you suddenly a mind reader? You are an embarrassment to humanity!
You can just reply to him. There's a reply option to a comment. And agreed.
I admire ths fact that he is completely comfortable with himself. It's a shame that we live in a world where you can't be who you are because of ignorance and hate. I have to say damn to them legs.
This man is valiantly defying the gender related stereotypes.
The amount of hate in this comment section is ridiculous.
I like it very much, but please never without hosiery
I'm loving his choice of style. Those outfits are great! At first I didn't really understand the message. But now I do . What's up with the labels and clothing defining who we are? Should we be angry at women who wear men's shoes or men's jeans because they're more comfortable or that's their preference? Please get over it we have bigger things to worry about. Think for that we are all here too piss and moan or better yet to understand and appreciate.
I'm also glad that we have several psychiatrists on board who have already evaluated this man and determined that he is mentally challenged. I don't know, I kind of have the feeling that he would give most of us a run for our money and intellect and health... Stop the madness. A lot of times people post their emotions and don't realize what they've made themselves look like. How has he made so many strangers mad? I see a human being making his own choices. Who are we to judge?
Yah!😊
He can rock a skirt! And walking in heels isn't easy, I destroyed my ankles when I was younger! I wish i looked half as good in a skirt! And for the haters, he isn't naked. His outfits are appropriate 👌
Many of my male friends wear kilts for formal wear. Kilts are still skirts and are comfortable. Now the heels are not comfortable but if he likes them who am I to judge. I'm just jealous that I never could wear heels.
I admire him! he looks so good, even in heals!💞
All I Can Say ( Excuse My French ) Is Damn!!!😊
Hats off to the guy to not give two short shites about how people judge his clothes.
If someone decided women could no longer wear mens clothing there would be cries of discrimination and outdated opinions.
Heels were also originally only worn by men anyway.
Clothing like colours should not be bound to old fashioned gender "norms"
People should be able to wear whatever they want. I love that he wears what he likes.
