Harlequin mask with diadem

The harlequin mask with headband is a two-piece set consisting of a black eye mask and a headband with a small red and black jester cap.

Place the headband on top of your head so that the two points with white pom-poms stick out to the left and right, and wear the eye mask over your eyes. Combine the set with a red and black outfit or a checkered pattern. This way, as a woman or man during carnival or at a themed party, you will create a recognizable harlequin look.

The harlequin as a character from Italian folk theatre

The harlequin is a staple character from commedia dell'arte, Italian improvisational theatre, where he made the audience laugh as a nimble, clever servant. His costume became known for its colorful checkered pattern. The jester cap with points and pom-poms comes from the related court jester, and in party costumes, these two characters are often combined. With the black eye mask added, you get the cheeky, modern version of the harlequin you know from comics and films.

How to wear the jester cap during the parade or at a party

If you put your hair in two high ponytails under the headband, the points of the jester cap will stick out nicely above the ponytails. Red lipstick and a red and black outfit bring out the colors of the cap, and a checkered top or checkered leggings refer to the classic harlequin suit. If you are walking in a carnival parade, choose a black or red jacket so that the set also matches your outfit outdoors.
