Closet Envy: Hud & Mary Kathryn Hudson
Mary Kathryn and Hud Hudson are probably one of the city’s most stylish couples, and it isn’t because they’re busy keeping up with the social set. The two spend their downtime in the great outdoors—either enjoying their sprawling farm with the dogs or boating on the lake. It’s not quite the lifestyle you would expect for a top executive at the glamourous Therapy Systems company, which also encompasses the beauty destinations Private Edition and The Cosmetic Market(s) and a guy with a closet full of top-tier designer clothes. Casual chic in the country has never looked better...or been as much fun than with the Hudson’s.

SCENT: Trish McEvoy No.6 for every day or Hermès for evening. ONLINE SHOPPING: Net-a-Porter, Shopbop, Bloomingdale's, Everlane, and Club Monaco. FALL/ WINTER CRUSH: I want a pair of camelcolored vegan leather pants from Emerson Grace, a Ganni leopard dress, tall brown Loeffler Randall boots, and some combat boots. DAY BAG: An Hermès Birkin or a Theory tote bag. EVENING BAG: A Nancy Gonzalez clutch. STILETTO: Stuart Weitzman, Golden Goose, or Loeffler Randall. ALWAYS BULK BUYING: Coats and white shirts.

IN her CLOSET
HERO ITEMS: My Hermès Birkin Bag, Rag and Bone leather leggings, Golden Goose sneakers, cashmere sweaters, Burberry kilt, Re/Done and Mother Denim, and an All Saints Leather jacket. DAILY UNIFORM: Either a great pair of jeans with a jacket and heels or Golden Goose sneakers with cool pants paredback with layered knits and jackets. MY LOOK: My look is pretty classic and polished, but not boring... I like to mix trends with my traditional pieces. BEST ORGANIZATION TRICK: Color coding and organizing by the type of clothing. HANGING UP: Velvet hangers are a must to save space because our closets are so small. CLOSET WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE: Olivia Palermo or my mother in law, Jamie Stream.
