Balenciaga Colorblock Vertical Stripe Tipped Polo Short Sleeve – Stone / Black
Balenciaga — Colorblock Vertical Stripe Tipped Polo Short Sleeve | Stone / Black
Balenciaga applies a considered, tonal approach to the polo shirt — one of sportswear's most enduring silhouettes — in this short-sleeve piece built from a fine vertical stripe jacquard fabric. The body is woven in a stone / ecru base with a tonal vertical stripe structure that gives the fabric a subtle, dimensional texture visible only at close range, reading as a clean, near-solid ground from a distance.
The colorblock detail is precise and restrained: the collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in a dark charcoal / black tipped rib — a contrast trim that references the classic tipped polo construction of British sportswear tradition while giving the piece a graphic, high-contrast edge. The two-button placket sits clean at the center front, and the straight hem gives the polo a relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette that works tucked or untucked. The back is entirely clean.

Styling Notes
The stone / black tipped polo is the most versatile piece in the Balenciaga polo lineup. Wear buttoned up with slim dark trousers or tailored chinos for a smart-casual register. Wear open over a white tee with slim denim for a relaxed look. The stone base pairs naturally with black, navy, camel, and white tones. Finish with leather loafers, clean white sneakers, or Balenciaga Triple S. The tipped collar reads best when the polo is worn with the collar flat and the top button open.
