Closet Envy: Mary Kathryn and Hud Hudson

Some people just have an incredible presence no matter what they’re wearing. It’s instantly noticeable and most often has more to do with attitude and body language than anything else. But, a fashionable wardrobe definitely comes into play as these individuals have usually figured out what works for them – and use the knowledge to choose well when building or editing personal ensembles. Our Closet Envy series is all about getting up close and personal with these personalities, and (of course) sharing the best details with you.

MEET MARY KATHRYN AND HUD 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 far-reaching 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.
