Alternative

If you want to use forms on grayish background colors, you can use this beautiful alternative style which removes the borders and it is emphasized only by its shadow.

<div class="p-4 bg-secondary">
  <form>
  <div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-6">
    <div class="form-group">
      <input type="email" class="form-control form-control-alternative" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="[email protected]">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-6">
    <div class="form-group">
      <input type="text" placeholder="Regular" class="form-control form-control-alternative" disabled />
    </div>
  </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-6">
    <div class="form-group">
      <div class="input-group input-group-alternative mb-4">
        <span class="input-group-text"><i class="ni ni-zoom-split-in"></i></span>
        <input class="form-control form-control-alternative" placeholder="Search" type="text">

      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

    <div class="form-group has-success">
      <input type="text" placeholder="Success" class="form-control form-control-alternative is-valid" />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-6">

      <input type="email" placeholder="Error Input" class="form-control form-control-alternative is-invalid" />
    </div>
  </div>
  </div>

Form controls

Textual form controls—like <input>s, <select>s, and <textarea>s—are styled with the .form-control class. Included are styles for general appearance, focus state, sizing, and more.

For all form control you can apply the additional modifier classes explained in the Inputs section: .form-control-alternative, .form-control-flush and .form-control-muted.

<form>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="exampleFormControlInput1">Email address</label>
    <input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="[email protected]">
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="exampleFormControlSelect1">Example select</label>
    <select class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlSelect1">
      <option>1</option>
      <option>2</option>
      <option>3</option>
      <option>4</option>
      <option>5</option>
    </select>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="exampleFormControlSelect2">Example multiple select</label>
    <select multiple class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlSelect2">
