Get Ready For the Powerful CSS border-shape Property!

The new CSS `border-shape` property is an upcoming feature that lets you shape entire elements while allowing borders, box-shadows, and outlines to follow the shape — solving the long-standing problem of adding decorations to CSS shapes. Unlike `clip-path`, which clips decorations away, `border-shape` accepts the same values (including the new `shape()` function and `polygon()`) but preserves borders and other decorative properties. The property supports single-shape stroke mode and two-shape fill mode, enabling border-only shapes, cutout shapes, breakout background effects, partial decorations, and animations. Currently Chrome-only, the article showcases its potential with interactive demos covering loaders, animated blobs, hand-drawn underlines, and more.
