types = forms.CharField(
widget=forms.Select(
attrs={'class': 'form-control'}
),
label="Type",
)
templatefie.html
{% load static %}
{% block main %}
<form method="post" class="post-form" autocomplete="off">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="row col-md-4 m-auto">
<div>
{{people.as_p}}
<button type="submit" class="save btn btn-primary mt-5">apply</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Labels and widgets can be defined separately.
Class RegForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Reg
fields = ['types','company']
labels = {
'types': 'Types',
'company': 'Company'
}
widgets = {
'types': Select(attrs={'class':'form-control'})
}
Create a view function that creates instance of the "Reg" modelform and pass in context to the template context = {'form_obj':Regform()}
{% load static %}
{% block main %}
<form method="post" class="post-form" autocomplete="off">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="row col-md-4 m-auto">
<div>
{{form_obj.types.label_tag}}
{{form_obj.types}}
<button type="submit" class="save btn btn-primary">apply</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
{% endblock %}
