nonnative offers some interesting footwear for Spring/Summer. Shoe Buff tells us “The brand brings ten new models in which six of them come with a Gore-Tex interior in collaboration with Regal ; Dweller Shoes Wing-Tip, Deck Shoe, Loafer, Plain Toe and Cap Toe.”

The more beach friendly espadrilles might win round those who still find this particular style of shoe objectionable, the slightly wider fit make them appear more moccasin like, espcially invarious shades of suede. A nice selection ranging from smart to run-around.

If you were looking for a piece of knitwear to make you feel like a sheep from a nativity scene then search no more. This isn’t an insult, we really like this cardigan and we know some of you may have been after that farmhouse feel. We’re just trying to be helpful and it is Christmas after all. This impressive item from Nonnative is actually made from ‘a retro pile material’, it has a double zip and some nice contrast trim around the pockets and cuffs. Find it at LN-CC

An interesting take on the grandad shirt from Nonnative. Available in Beige and Indigo chambray, the chinstrap and side buttons are a really nice touch. Made in Japan…

These leather dweller shoes by Regal for Japan’s nonnative are winners with their Gore-tex additions. While they will keep the upper dry, do note that the spillage over the top could get into that footbed and sock. Avoid deep swamps but do not fear the puddles. Japan made and available in two colorways. Coming in late October 2011.

nonnative is killing it this Spring and Summer 2011. Easily one of the more forward-casual collections on the market. Their latest collection of “looks” at their “The Bluffer’s Code” collection helps push the point. The focus is on the individual being comfortable. Bang on. Other looks at their Spring/Summer 2011 collection can be found here.

“Beige colored steer skin” is what you are seeing on this nonnative men’s worker jacket. A slightly asymmetric line closure finishes it off well. “Features a banded collar and long sleeves with slits with four hidden golden press buttons. The jacket has a piped chest pocket, two flap pockets and another small piped pocket, closable with a small beige button.” LN-CC has it.

We’ve got Rebecca Black problems this morning. Is the new trend dressing up, Sprezzy-style or dressing down, sweatpants style? Which one do we chooooooose? We feel like the rest of the blog world is dictating we all dress up but, us being the contrarians we are, are advising pieces like this. Then again, what’s wrong with doing both? Just keep these away from smart situations and you’ll be fine. (Oki-Ni)

I’m going to immediately recommend you dive into the gallery after the “read more” to get a strong look at these leather bags from Japan’s nonnative line. Their Dweller 2-way bag series is made from lightweight cow leather that looks soft and supple. Nothing too rigid in these bags. The strap detail is well done as well. What we have here are beautiful day bags. Available in beige, navy blue, and black.

I have to say the new Nonnative lookbook for Spring 2011 has me interested. “The Bluffer’s Code” collection is outstanding. The collection is awfully wearable by everyman. Looks stay within a focused look of classic casual wear with the addition of something unique. Could it be the colors? I think it’s the accessories – from bags to eyewear. A clear standout in the Spring 2011 pack.
