Despite societal norms a man is breaking expectations by dressing with a special sense of self-assurance.
Mark Bryan as a robotics engineer and father to three children breaks societal standards by choosing to wear specific clothes every day.
Bryan performs around the globe in tailored shirt dresses and heels to challenge traditional gender understanding of clothing styles.
As a Germany resident Bryan has included heels and skirts in his everyday outfit for several years.
His initial personal style decision prompted a popular reaction that led many individuals to end outdated dress codes.
Bryan rejects the belief that his clothing preferences relate to s*x but represents how he wants to present himself differently.
I am dressing according to my personal preference. He said this in an interview to display his individuality. I have viewed women in tight skirts with high heels as beautiful throughout my life.
He connects to their strength through fashion not in s*xual terms.

While Bryan stands out through his clothing choices he remains successful in all business environments.
The mechanical engineer remembers how workmates reacted when he began wearing high heels to the office when he started his profession.
Staff at the office discussed Mark’s visible attire when he stepped into the workplace. Staff members in the office grew accustomed to his new footwear manner.
People in his workplace have started to understand that society should respect individual choice.
Even though he faces obstacles he keeps pushed forward without concern for critics.
His wife and children approve his wardrobe selections while his daughter teasingly wants to use his shoes.
My wife provides me clothing advice all the time. Bryan reports his daughter regularly wants to wear his shoes but cannot.
When Bryan didn’t plan to advertise himself his distinctive fashion choices made him famous on the Internet.

After posting photos of his outfits he built up a substantial audience of 600000 followers on Instagram.
He collects 100 messages daily from people who tell him his dressing motivates them to be themselves.
“A large number of them are followers that have thanked me for the courage to go out wearing something regardless of what others may think,” he said.
His purpose goes beyond dressing himself.
He works to establish a social backdrop where people should not need to follow gender-based fashion rules.
Bryan explained to Harper’s Bazaar Australia the moment when genderless clothing will exist will happen once we stop labeling clothing for specific genders.
Skirts and high heels used to be non-gendered fashion items but Bryan wants to restore their neutral status.
He sends a straightforward message that clothes should not limit how people identify their gender unlike their s*xuality.
Mark Bryan demonstrates both personal style and social change as he talks about true self-expression and helps others break away from expectations.
He uses skirts and heels as more than fashion items because he guides others to truly be themselves.
As people embrace new gender norms Bryan’s tale shows that being true to yourself is more important than anything.
