Easy Does It: Stay cool as temperatures rise with effortless looks from local boutiques.

Dressing for the Louisiana heat and humidity is not always easy. And as temperatures rise, we’re on a mission to make getting dressed as simple as possible.

From date night looks to everyday throw-on-and-go dresses, BLDG 5 sets the backdrop for our spring style shoot with model Leili Shabani. This season, local boutiques are showcasing easy closet staples that are perfect for the transition into summer. Get set for spring—and its accompanying humidity—with lightweight looks to keep you looking and feeling cool.
