No, CSS classes are not defined in form class (as far as i know). I would suggest using reusable form templates [1] and putting the CSS classes on field wrappers for example. This is what you are interested in: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#reusable-form-templates http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#displaying-a-form-using-a-template Which ever approach you decide to use is valid, but writing a bunch of your own HTML for forms takes more time but is also more customisable, on the other hand using shortcut methods such as "as_p" [1] or "as_table" [2] is faster but you have less control over the outputted HTML.
