Can't override Woocommerce CSS

I am half way through in Zač's Wocommerce theme development course and I came across unpleasant problem. In his video he adds custom styles to WC just by adding additional rules to style.css and it works. But for some reason it seems I cannot override any WC style like Zac does. Am I missing something?

Thanks for reply, Actually unexpectedly I found that it was Chrome cache fault because somehow it didn't update any changes when working with style.css. Switching to Firefox was solution.

Yeah, cache will be a ban of developing. Just remember, even working in Firefox you still have to empty the cache at some point. Glad you figured it out.

Can you show me one example of your style sheet. I do not need to see it all, but I do need to see how far back your selectors are to the root div.
