The argyle (occasionally argyll) pattern is made of diamonds in a diagonal checkerboard arrangement. The word is sometimes used to refer to an individual diamond in the design but more commonly refers to the overall pattern. Most argyle layouts contain layers of overlapping motifs, adding a sense of three-dimensionality, movement, and texture.

The argyle pattern is said to have been derived from the tartan of Clan Campbell, of Argyll in western Scotland.

It was much used in the golfing dress of the early 1900s, both for jerseys and for the long socks needed for the plus-fours trouser fashion of the day.

It has seen a resurgence in popularity in the last few years, due to its adoption by Stuart Stockdale in collections produced by luxury clothing manufacturer, Pringle of Scotland. Argyle socks are worn by revivalist golfers playing with hickory clubs in the pre-1930 style.
