Swedish Winters and Their Influence on AMO & Oak's Designs
Scandinavian winters can be long and unforgiving. Shaped by this environment, Swedes prioritise warmth, resilience, and practicality. Here’s how those icy months influenced our socks and clog designs.
-
Emphasis on Warmth
Swedish winters can be harsh. With temperatures far below freezing a set of warm and protective clothes are a necessity. This is why we choose high quality and natural fabrics like Angora, alpaca or cashmere for our socks.
-
Durability as a Necessity
Snow, ice, and slush wear down ordinary footwear. Our clogs use FSC-certified wood to withstand the elements and ensure longevity. Many Swedes are known to wear clogs as their day to day shoes. Whether that is regular work indoor or wood working outdoors. Swedes have chosen clogs to be their go to pair of footwear.

Timeless Aesthetics
In Sweden, winter fashion leans toward functional yet stylish pieces. By creating socks that can follow a clean lined and simple aesthetic with availability in a variety of colors, we are certain that our socks will beautifully integrate within your existing wardrobe, even levelling up your outfits. The devil lies in the details. And what better details than a pair of Angora socks.
Conclusion:
Winter is a way of life in Sweden, and our products celebrate that reality. Experience products born of necessity and perfected by Nordic style sense.
