The Après Man
Share
He plays tennis. Occasionally. But he wears the sweat set like it was custom-made.
You know the one. Crewneck slightly oversized. Pants cuffed just enough. There might be a racquet in the trunk of his Defender. There might be a bottle of Barolo. Probably both.
He drinks his Americano black, his Bordeaux bold, and his water sparkling — served in a glass, even at home. His watch is an Audemars Piguet. He never checks it, but you can feel it ticking.
His hair? Perfectly tousled. Like he just got off a seaplane. Or out of bed. He won’t say which.
The Après Man doesn’t try. He curates. The club knows him. The coaches nod. The new members follow him a little too closely on Instagram. His crewneck smells faintly of cedarwood, salt air, and decisions made with quiet conviction.
He shows up unannounced and still somehow early. He never tags the location. He never posts — but always gets posted.
There’s talk that the Porsche Speedster sometimes seen outside the club was gifted by his uncle — a man who taught him how to drive stick, mix a negroni, and never arrive empty-handed.
There’s also a rumor he’s involved with the Après Club Yacht — but you didn’t hear that from us.
You can’t buy his mystique.
But you can buy his sweat set.

You can’t become him overnight.
But you can dress like you belong in his orbit.
