Beau Menswear is Here: A New Chapter on Hope Street!

Exciting news is hitting Hope Street this spring — Beau Bleu Boutique is expanding with a brand-new venture: Beau Menswear! We had the pleasure of sitting down with owner Nicki Tyska to chat about the inspiration behind the new store, the journey to get here, and what shoppers can expect when the doors officially open on Saturday, April 19th.

Q: Nicki, what inspired you to open Beau Menswear?

A: Honestly, it was our customers! So many of our loyal Beau Bleu shoppers mentioned how Bristol was missing a dedicated men’s clothing store — whether they were shopping for their husbands, boyfriends, or even sons, they wanted a local place to find stylish, high-quality pieces for men. After hearing the request over and over again, I knew it was time to make it happen. The idea of creating a space that complements Beau Bleu’s modern, classic style — but tailored for men — felt like the perfect next step.

Q: Tell us a bit about the style and selection we’ll find at Beau Menswear.

A: The vibe is definitely aligned with Beau Bleu — think modern, effortless, and versatile — but designed specifically with men in mind. We’ll carry everything from elevated everyday essentials to polished pieces for a night out or more casual special events. Our goal is to provide clothing that helps men feel confident and put-together without sacrificing comfort or individuality. You’ll find a mix of clean, classic lines with a bit of an edge — wardrobe staples like well-fitting chinos, soft tailored shirts, lightweight sweaters, and relaxed, stylish outerwear.

Q: How did you choose the location for the new store?

A: We’re thrilled to be opening just a few doors down from Beau Bleu at 435 Hope Street. It felt important to keep the stores close together — that way, our customers can easily pop between the two. Plus, I love the idea of having both shops on this bustling, walkable street. There’s such a great energy here, and I think Beau Menswear will fit right in.

Q: What are you most excited about with this expansion?

A: I’m really looking forward to bringing something new to Bristol. The town has such an incredible sense of community, and it’s rewarding to be able to fill a gap that so many people have talked about. I’m also excited to see how our shoppers respond to the collection — whether they’re buying for themselves or the men in their lives, I want Beau Menswear to feel approachable, inspiring, and, above all, useful. Clothing should be practical and stylish, and I think we’ve curated a lineup that strikes that balance.

Q: Any special plans for opening day?

A: Of course! We’re planning a fun, festive grand opening on, complete with some treats, giveaways, and a first look at the collection. It’s going to be a celebration — and we’re hoping to see a lot of familiar faces (and new ones too!).
