Has anyone came across this man, Mark Bryan?
The Professional Look
-
-
There is plenty of information about him from pictures, to videos, to interviews. He is a family man, married with children and wears clothing traditionally designated for women from the waist down. He has been wearing in public and to work for the past five years. He doesn't assign gender or sexual preference to his choice of clothing. He describes his decision as a chance to experience the fabrics women typically get to experience but doesn't seek to present himself as a woman.
As you can see, he he dresses very professionally, in fact, all his photos show him dressed professionally. He will pick out his outfit the night before and says he has always dressed professionally, more than expected in a work environment. Just look at this shot, he matches his purple stilettos with his shirt! He says he first tried heels with the help of his wife in his twenties to be able to stand equal in height with her. She helped him with his first purchase. It was much later in life he added skirts and hosiery. He basically describes himself as a regular male who enjoys the wider variety of clothing choices he gets to choose from.

I am curious what people think about this-
Are you shocked by the way he is dressed?
Do you think it is a good look?
Do you think he pulls off this look successfully?
Are you against his choice of clothing?
If you are a male, is this something you are interested in, might want to try, or are currently wearing?
Male or female, if you wear something similar , how do you like and feel wearing this outfit?
Do you have recommendations for a male who would like to try this fashion choice (what to wear specifically-heels, skirt, hosiery, jewelry, etc.)?

Meh. I'm not nuts about the look on him. Maybe it's because he's a geezer and doesn't have a super fit body in all the key areas. He's a little beyond his "best before" date, and I think that detracts from what I was hoping to see. Or maybe it's the Captain Picard bald head look that is completely off-putting in the aesthetic. I've never seen anyone who is bald wearing a skirt and heels, Grace Jones notwithstanding.
His colour pairings in a lot of his photos look like he's trying too hard to be matchy matchy with his heels and the colour of the tops he's wearing in the various outfits where he does that. It just comes off looking a bit too contrived and not looking that natural. It could be the sum of all those things that just doesn't quite work for me.
I saw a really interesting article, a few years back, on airline uniform regulations and how a couple of airlines were now allowing male flight attendants, who identify as other than male, to order and wear female uniforms and components while on duty. There were some really good photos accompanying the article. What stood out to me was that the more feminine looking males, or those who had an adrogynous appearance, looked quite good in the female uniform, whereas the more masculine the person looked, the less convincing the look was to me. One guy had a beard, and that just didn't "fly" at all with me!! In other words, it looked like staged comedy when the guy looked a bit too masculine to have been wearing a woman's uniform.
I think that the right male can wear a skirt and heels but he really needs to have the right body, face and hair (cut and style) too, in order to pull it off really well.
