ABOUT HAWSÉ L‘HOMME


HAWSÉ L’HOMME
is a Black men’s fashion, style-intelligence, and lifestyle platform I created for men who want to look intentional without being told they need a celebrity budget to do it.

This is where fit, color, grooming, fragrance, culture, and personal presence meet real life. I believe style is not about chasing logos, copying every trend, or buying the most expensive thing in the room. It is about knowing what works for your body, your complexion, your lifestyle, your budget, and the room you are walking into.

I am Kimberly Hawes—a writer, artist, creative director, and longtime student of men’s fashion. For years, I built men’s style content around the outfits, color stories, fragrances, and visual details that make a man look put together. I returned to this work with a clearer purpose: Black men deserve fashion guidance that sees the full picture.

Not just luxury. Not just streetwear. Not just one body type, one age, one complexion, or one version of masculinity.

WHAT I BELIEVE
A thrifted suit with the right shoulders, clean tailoring, and polished shoes can look better than an expensive suit that does not fit.
A man with broad shoulders, a fuller build, big feet, a larger head, a tight budget, or a closet full of basic pieces still deserves useful style advice.
Color should feel like possibility—not a rulebook.
A good wardrobe should work for real life: interviews, dates, work, weddings, church, travel, creative spaces, celebrations, difficult days, and every room in between.

THE POINT
I am not dressing the mannequin.
I am dressing your actual body, your actual budget, your actual life, and the man you are becoming.

Fit is the luxury. Presence is the finish.
