Not all the wordpress themes come with image borders by default. You need to add few lines of code to get the image border.
This tutor tells you on how to add a image border to the images in your wordpress theme. You can follow this tutorial only if your theme doesn’t come with default border for images.
To add the border, follow this steps:

2. Click on Presentation and the select the theme for which you want to add image border.
3. Click on “Theme Editor”
4. Open “Stylesheet” or “style.css” whatever from the right hand list.

Find this :
Code:
img {
border: none;
}
… and replace it with this:
Code:
img {
border:#cc9 1px solid;
padding:3px;
}
a img {
border-bottom: #b8860b 1px solid;
}
And click on “Update File”
Now you must be able to see a border around the images in your blog.
You can customize the border in the way you want. Here are few quick customization you can do:
1. To change the distance between the border and the image, increase or decrease the number in “
padding”. For example, in the code above the padding is 3, you can increase it to 4, if you want more gap between the image and the border.
2. You can have “Dashed” border style. To do this, replace “
solid” with “
dashed” in both the lines.
3. To change the color of the border line, you need to change the color code (HEX) value with the valid CSS/HTML color code.
For example, in the above code, the color code is “
#b8860b”, which is light brown in color. If you want to have a black border line, you can change it to “
#000000″
