St. Valentine’s Day is over, but underwear collections specially designed for the occasion are still available at lingerie stores.

Milavitsa presented ladies with a new collection of pink underwear, which includes a smooth push up bra and lace bustier with panties.

As pink is a popular color choice of lingerie consumers (it goes third after classic white and black), it’s a favorite with apparel designers. There hardly is such an underwear manufacturer that doesn’t offer any pink garments. Indeed, “You can never have too much pink”, as the motto of Victoria’s Secret PINK® goes.

Pink collections of well-known lingerie brands include everything from matching sets and sleepwear to loungewear and bedding. Apart from traditional garments, some lingerie stores also offer heart and graphic pillows, flip flops, knee socks and even some dog sweatshirts and dog collars to pink-lovers.

So why is pink so popular? Here go some curious facts about the color:

• Pink is a color made by mixing red and white. The word for the pink color hasn’t been invented till the 17th century, when it appeared to describe the light red flowers of pinks, flowering plants in the Dianthus.
• Pink traditionally is a color of universal love, friendship, affection, harmony and inner peace. It combines both elements of fire and air.
• Baby pink represents innocence and childlikeness. In pop culture delicate pink has become associated with sexuality and womanhood. So, the Legal Blonde Resse Witherspoon (Elle Woods from Legally Blonde) and sex expert Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City) favor this color.
• Pink is also associated with homosexuals and bisexuals. This connotation comes from a pink triangle, which now is a known symbol of the gay community.
• Besides, the word pink is sometimes used to describe people with slightly left-wing political views.
