Buttons on a shoulder seam are usually functional - a way into a neckline too narrow to pull over the head. Here there are two rows of them, one on each shoulder, and they are doing something else entirely: decoration, and a good one.
They run outward from a wide boat neckline that folds back on itself into a small collar flap, turning the top of the sweater into the detail rather than leaving it plain. The knit is a fine vertical rib that sits close to the body, the sleeves are long and slim, and the whole thing is cut short enough to sit at the waistband.
Worn under a blazer, only the buttons show. That is usually enough - and on its own, the neckline does the rest.
