CSS Outline Shorthand

CSS Outline - Shorthand property

The outline property is a shorthand property for setting the following individual outline properties:

  • outline-width
  • outline-style (required)
  • outline-color

You can specify one, two, or three values from the list above. The order of the values does not matter.

The border-radius property is used to add rounded borders to an element.

Here are some different outlines with rounded corners:

A dashed outline.

A dotted red outline.
