Motley

A jester dressed in motley

Motley is the traditional costume of the court jester, the motley fool. It is the costume of the arlecchino character in commedia dell'arte, the harlequin who wears a patchwork of red, green and blue diamonds. Present-day fashion occasionally adopts it as a motif.
