Rather than cutting off the edges or zooming in, Instagram will fill the edges with a custom frosted glass -
style color gradient based on the colors of your image.
In the glam of the current year, the
styles, prints, and varieties of fashion bottoms include Butterflies & Dragonflies legging, polka dots, checked ones, galaxy printing, stripes, animal prints, zebra & leopard prints, Egyptian inspired patterns, geometric patterns, alphabetic & hand writing prints, monochrome cartoons imprinted, hearts design, sports & skeleton leg wears,
gradient effects, retro gamer leggings, glittered, sequin decorated, Halloween inspired, floral prints, snowflake leggies or leggings, plain
colored tights, knitted & laced leggings, multi-printed tights and many others too.
Bright
color and soft pastel
colors definitely pop more on the canvas, I've tried a couple test paintings with only darker
colors with my
gradient style, and they don't pop as much.
