Some guys use eBay to bid on video game consoles or affordable watches. Alexander Skarsgård (or his stylist, Harry Lambert, anyway) uses it to source vintage tracksuits. And so should you. While pulling up to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in New York last night, the Swedish actor waved at fans, took a few selfies, and signed a few autographs in a retro Sergio Tacchini windbreaker, worn over a crisp dress shirt and tie. Drenched in a loud blue, green, and yellow color combo, this piece hails from the ’90s and was made in Brianza, Italy—a little town between Milan and Como that’s always been known for its rich tailoring history.

The classic Sergio Tacchini logo was embroidered on the left chest in white, and Skarsgård paired it with the original matching track pants. Still, since he was heading to a national talk show to chat all things Murderbot, he amped things up with a pair of black calfskin loafers from Church’s.
We should all be shopping vintage, really. Not only is it more sustainable and better for the planet, there’s also a chance that no one else will be wearing the same thing you’re wearing. But for the Succession star, there’s a more personal reason behind the thrifted fit. In 2024, he told British GQ, that he finds certain public appearances “quite stressful” and “intense.” And what better way is there to stay chill than by dressing chill to begin with?
It makes you wonder what else Alexander Skarsgård is bidding on right now. Drop the Watch List, sir!
