Even though Captain Planet is a bit of a sore subject for the Aussies, what with Australia being, well, snubbed from inclusion in the Planeteers, we can’t help but shout the mantra that invoked our favorite mulleted superhero when we see the new X Elements Collection from Calvin Klein. Inspired by the four elements (the folks at CK must have decided “heart” was an element best left to the show), this collection of trunks and boxer briefs is a great way to get in touch with the element that describes you best.

Earth is a crisp, green leafy print, perfect for the grounded ones in the group. Air is light, wispy clouds, a favorite of the wishy-washy. Fire is a deep, robust flame that will light the eyes of those whose attitudes are just as vivacious. Water looks like a refreshing ocean wave, cool, clean and sporadic, just like the person on whom they’d be a perfect fit.

They’re made of the same super soft, stretch microfiber as the X Micro pieces, but if you haven’t already tried the X Collection, imagine the softness of your favorite t-shirt with the stretchy feeling of a sporty microfiber, and you’ve got the unique fabric used to make the Calvin Klein X Elements Collection. As with all limited edition collections that rock, these are bound to sell out fast so if you plan on channeling your inner Planeteer, we recommend doing so post haste. Go Planet!
