If you're worried about stylizing specific fields, it'll be setup as a table, ul, or paragraph based upon how you "render the form" (paragraph by default I think). The individual fields are named with the following convention (if I recall correctly) <input id="id_<field_name>" ... />. So for a field named "password" in a paragraph rendered form, it'll end up sort of like this:
<p><label for="id_password">password</label><input type="password" name="password" id="id_password" /></p>
Of course I don't use these pre-rendered forms because mine typically need too much customization. So what we do is the following:
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
...
<input name="password" type="password" value="{{ form.password.value }}" />
<input type="submit" value="Click Me!" />
...
</form>
and you can easily add in your own stylizing CSS and elements as needed.

I think the best thing for you do is to create the css outside the template. Like this - create the css file, separately, then reference the file in the template.
Or, better yet, add the css you need for your form in you main css file that is referenced in your base template and just inherit it by
using a tag {{ extends "base.html""}, then you will have a uniform look throughout the site and you won't have to worry about but once.

It doesn't matter how you generate your form, your CSS should be applied from inside the template. You need to add a CSS file link to a template to which you're passing the form to inside your context from within a view, or you can embed it into your template using <style> tags.

I think I shot myself in the foot using ModelForms to generate all of my html forms. Is there any way to use a stylesheet when your forms are generated from ModelForms?
I've tried everything and cannot get it to work. I've tried directly importing the css files, I've tried loading them from STATIC, and I've tried setting css in Meta, but nothing seems to work. All I have to do is add some color to my tables and align the text to the left of the cells. Thanks.
