Mark Bryan, a 61-year-old married father of three from Germany, has become one of the most talked-about style icons on social media—not because he follows trends, but because he breaks them. For the past four years, Mark has confidently worn skirts and high heels to work, using fashion as a tool to challenge gender stereotypes and redefine what masculinity can look like.
As a robotics engineer manager, Mark holds a senior position in a highly technical industry. Yet, it’s his bold daily outfits—often featuring pencil skirts, business skirts, and designer heels—that have captured the attention of the world. His unique style has earned him over 73,000 Instagram followers, along with viral recognition across platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and fashion blogs. Many fans describe his look as gender-fluid fashion, although Mark makes it clear that he identifies as a cisgender, straight man who simply loves great style.
On his Instagram bio, he once wrote:
“I am just a straight, happily married guy that loves Porsches, beautiful women, and incorporating high heels and skirts into my daily wardrobe.”
Mark frequently shares photos featuring his perfectly coordinated outfits, proving that his wardrobe choices are not a statement about sexuality—but a statement about self-expression, comfort, and modern menswear evolution.
In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Mark explained:
“What drives me to dress in skirts is fashion. Comfort. Wanting to be different. I’m still the manly husband and father. My daughter even wants to borrow my shoes at times.”
For Mark, skirts are more than clothing—they’re part of a movement promoting body-positive fashion, diversity in style, and men challenging gender norms. He emphasizes that heels, like skirts, make him feel comfortable, confident, and fashion-forward without taking away from his identity.
When he first introduced skirts into his workplace wardrobe, his colleagues weren’t shocked. He had already been wearing heels with trousers for some time, so the transition felt natural.
“My colleagues were okay when I started wearing skirts… it came to them as no surprise,” he said.
Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people swapped office outfits for loungewear, Mark continued rocking his heels while working from home. His followers cheered him on, calling him a symbol of inclusive fashion and modern masculinity. According to fans, he didn’t just keep wearing heels—he kept slaying.
Mark is now recognized as a voice in discussions about non-traditional mens fashion, straight men wearing skirts, high heels for men, breaking gender norms in clothing, and workplace fashion confidence. His message remains simple but powerful: clothes don’t define gender, and confidence defines style.
