Belgian designer Tim Van Steenbergen has a thing for buttons. Whether hiding them, toggle-ing them, or snaking them playfully up an overcoat in his Fall 2009 line, their use is not merely functional but a carefully considered element of a garment’s design.

The runway presentation for the Brothers Spring Summer 2010 collection paraded a series of proper, prepped out looks with just enough of mixed-up and unmatched mischief to keep things real and risky. Cape Cod standards like navy yachting jackets striped D-ring belts were brought into more seductive waters with 1970s Milan playboy scarves printed in sleazy paisley and sockless buckled slip-ons in cognac colored leather.

The cable-knit Cowichin Cardigan by Corpus nets the European fishing-village, ultra-chunky sweater trend perfectly and adds an eye-popping, two-toned palette and leather buckle detailing to its otherwise cozy and classic aesthetic. Available online at Garygyle.com.

These zip-up Sharptail boots by O X Kazuki are featured on the highly respected Tres Bien Shop site, feature an Adidas branded sole, and certainly aren’t ordinary looking. Heck, they’re even 20% off for non-European shoppers. Beyond that, it’s difficult to know quite what to make of these hodge-podged boots so sound off in the comments section and set us straight.

With all the offerings bouncing around the style blogs, the knitwear of SNS Herning has always stood out. It’s almost decorative approach to texture and its vintage-tinged color palettes shift the brand’s sweaters into a vaguely 1970s aesthetic that feels fresh in the wake of today’s more dominant trends. The CHCM Shop has received a new cardigan, fisherman’s sweater, and naval hat from SNS, all in hushed, moody hues and all worth a serious look.
