Slide(r) into Summer With A Bit of Classic Check From Aquascutum
Part of the British heritage brand's beach range, the Aquascutum Check Slider is the ultimate bit of footwear for a spot of casual lounging this holiday season.
As much as the new wave of 'travel influencers' might have you thinking just how do they really cram in so much stuff into a 24 hour period, holidays are really about relaxation. A much needed break for the never ending work hours & weekends spent knee deep in ball pools at your local soft play, you simply cannot beat a few days just chilling out on your hotel balcony, or around the pool. Whether you're into sipping a few cheeky cocktails or just some soul searching on a plastic pool lounger with your Lacoste towel, 80s Casual Classics will always have your holidays needs covered. When it comes to footwear for a spot of casual lounging this holiday season it's all about the pool side slider and in this case the classic check from Aquascutum.

Founded back in 1851 by John Emary on London's prestigious Regent Street, it was Aquascutum that introduced the first waterproof wool fabric for outerwear. Aquascutum might sound like some sort of fancy Victorian name but it's actually the Latin for 'watershield'. Long before the days of GORE-TEX & garment technology from the 1980s from the likes of Massimo Osti, Aquascutum were already setting the bar for fabric innovation 130 years earlier. There's probably only really a handful of brands that can claim the same cult status as Aquascutum and just like the fellow British brand Burberry had their iconic 'Nova' check, for Aquascutum it was all about the Club check.

Sliders have made a massive comeback in recent years, as a more robust alternative to the flip flop. A staple holiday footwear style, the slider can be worn around the pool, at the beach or down the local Irish Bar for a few day time lagers if that's your thing. Originally designed as a shower room shoe for German athletes back in the 1960s, the slider is a versatile slip-on shoe that can even be worn around the house in the winter months. The pool side slider now arrives courtesy of Aquascutum as part of the British heritage brand's beach range. Highlights include a classic slip on design with a fixed strap featuring Aquasucutum's iconic classic check, a moulded footbed and a grippy sole underfoot. A must have summer style, the Aquascutum slider will made a great addition to your holiday rig out.
