When Wesley Mayeux first began spending more time in Lafayette during the COVID era, he didn’t know it would change the course of his life. A Louisiana native raised in Bunkie, Wesley had built a career in fashion that took him out of state and into the retail world, including a long tenure in leadership roles at Nordstrom and with the respected menswear brand David Donahue. But it was during those quiet months back home that he rediscovered a spark—both for the community and for a vision he’d carried for years.

“I fell back in love with Lafayette,” Wesley shares. “And I realized there was a missing piece when it came to men’s fashion here—something modern, welcoming, and well-rounded.”

That realization led to the creation of His Essentials & Co., a contemporary men’s retail store now open at 116 Rue Promenade, Suite 200, right in the heart of River Ranch. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in high-end retail, Wesley set out to create more than just a clothing store. His goal? A one-stop destination where men of all ages and styles feel at home.

His Essentials & Co. offers a thoughtfully curated selection of wardrobe staples and statement pieces, including denim, woven shirts, golf and athletic wear, date-night attire, and accessories. Shoppers will find popular, stylish brands like 7 Diamonds, Billy Reid, Fidelity Denim, Liverpool LA, Live Live Supply, and WRLDINVSN—names that bring both quality and on-trend appeal.

But the experience goes beyond racks of great clothes. Wesley has added custom embroidery services for individuals, teams, and businesses, offering everything from personalized items to embroidered uniforms and blank tees for custom designs. It's part of his mission to provide versatility and personalization under one roof.

His Essentials & Co. is more than just a men’s clothing store—it’s an experience. From the moment customers step inside, they’re met with a laid-back, welcoming energy that transforms shopping into something enjoyable and stress-free. The space is thoughtfully designed for comfort, featuring a relaxed atmosphere, curated music, and plenty of room to explore. Visitors are encouraged to browse at their own pace and discover styles that genuinely reflect their personality. Whether someone is upgrading their wardrobe or just stopping in to check out the latest arrivals, every visit is designed to be casual, positive, and completely pressure-free.

Wesley believes that fashion is deeply personal and shouldn’t be confined by rigid rules. “Style is self-expression,” he says. “Your wardrobe can be as versatile as you are. One day you might want a clean, tailored look, and the next, you’re feeling a streetwear vibe—and that’s the beauty of it.”

He encourages customers not to shy away from mixing things up. “You don’t have to stick to one style lane,” Wesley adds. “Mixing high-end pieces with affordable basics is a great way to create a look that feels elevated but still approachable. It’s not about how much you spend—it’s about how you wear it.”

Ultimately, his top style tip comes down to confidence: “When you wear something like you mean it, it always looks good.”

Whether you're shopping for a tailored look, revamping your casual wardrobe, or just stopping in for style advice, Wesley ensures every customer feels like more than a shopper. “I want people to feel welcome the moment they walk in,” he says. “Fashion is about confidence, and I love helping people find pieces that reflect who they are and make them feel their best.”

With deep roots in Louisiana, a strong sense of hospitality, and a lifetime of fashion knowledge, Wesley Mayeux is bringing something fresh and essential to Lafayette’s style scene.
