The Calvin Klein Bold 'X-Ray' undergarments carry on the [Halloween design craze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-sock-collections) in the wake of the event. The [Bold line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky) is separate and distinct from the majority of the label's pieces, often working with funkier buzz motifs and patterns.

Skulls and bony finger tips cover this set of [Calvin Klein menswear apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-mens). While the brand is recognized as being upscale above all else, this radiograph-themed collection speaks to the label's lesser known alternative side.

The company is evidently willing to emphasize its festive side in accordance with the seasons. In this case, it has done an excellent job of playing up on the spooky hype that builds up in and around the end of October.
