New York City-based fashion label GREI introduces its latest collection for the Spring/Summer 2020 season and it is named 'Second Place.' The range is entirely made up of [relaxed staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein) and features inspiration from trad apparel without swaying away from the global inspiration that powers GREI's design language.

The seasonal capsule highlights [bold plaid looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2) as well as more muted and versatile colors across the slouched shapes. The capsule features drizzler jackets with cropped shapes, loosely fitted ponchos, drawstring trousers, and more. There are also a series of striped tops that nod to collegiate themes, as well as boxy shaped hoodies and printed graphic tees. As a touch of sporty components, the range unveiled [color-blocking mesh tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1) and vests alongside trench coats and bags.
