You can include CSS for your plugin one of two ways.

**1) Inline CSS**

You can include CSS snippets by using `{% includeCss myCss %}`. This is great if you are just wanting to include a few lines of CSS. Read more here: <http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/templating/includecss>

Usually contained in your /resources folder inside your plugin you can include a CSS file by using `{% includeCssResource "pluginName/styles.css" %}` You can read more here: <http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/resources>
