It seems like pictures of harlequin prints have been popping up more often lately on Pinterest and such, and I’m glad because it’s one of the best patterns. There are also those perfect harlequin pants from Pinup Girl Clothing that I love but really don’t need.

Here are some pictures featuring harlequin or diamond patterns!
