Best applying practice for styling (Parent or Child)

Quick Question to fellow Django Learners. Is it best practice to write styling in a distributed kind of why where you have general styling at the parent level and app specific styling beneath at the child level. Or is it better to write one large piece of CSS at the parent level that deals with apps as well? I can see benefits to doing it both ways depending on the project but wondered if anyone had any practical experience with this?

Thanks!

With Django, apps can be portable and shared among other projects. So, it's best to keep the styling with the app that uses it., You can then, at the parent level, list the parent CSS last which allows the parent to override any specific child styling as needed.
