While shadows on components are disabled by default in Bootstrap and can be enabled via $enable-shadows, you can also quickly add or remove a shadow with our box-shadow utility classes. Includes support for .shadow-none and three default sizes (which have associated variables to match).

No shadow

Small shadow

Regular shadow

Larger shadow
