How to add a class to django form label?

I have <label for="id_first_name">First name:</label> when I use {{ form.first_name.label_tag }}

I want to add class="col-sm-4 control-label" with label.How can I do that?

You can use form init method to call class

class YourForm(forms.Form)
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(YourForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.fields['field_name'].widget.attrs['class'] = 'your_class'

I tried def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(SubAdminForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) for field in self.fields: self.fields[field].widget.attrs['class'] = 'form-control' def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(SubAdminForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) for field in self.fields: self.fields[field].widget.attrs['class'] = 'form-control' I think this is used for adding class for input fields, I want to add a class for <label></label>

you can do same thing for label too. instead of fields use label thats all

if you want to add calss in your label in your template then call your label like {{form.field.label}}
