Use utilities like border-solid and border-dotted to control an element's border style:

border-solid

border-dashed

border-dotted

border-double

<div class="border-2 border-solid ..."></div><div class="border-2 border-dashed ..."></div><div class="border-2 border-dotted ..."></div><div class="border-4 border-double ..."></div>

Use the border-none utility to remove an existing border from an element:

<button class="border-none ...">Save Changes</button>

This is most commonly used to remove a border style that was applied at a smaller breakpoint.

Use utilities like divide-dashed and divide-dotted to control the border style between child elements:

01

02

03

<div class="grid grid-cols-3 divide-x-3 divide-dashed divide-indigo-500">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

Prefix a border-style utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="border-solid md:border-dotted ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
