Nesting CSS classes

Not possible with vanilla CSS. However you can use something like:

Sass makes CSS fun again. Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It’s translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.

Or

Rather than constructing long selector names to specify inheritance, in Less you can simply nest selectors inside other selectors. This makes inheritance clear and style sheets shorter.

Example:

#header {
  color: red;
  a {
    font-weight: bold;
    text-decoration: none;
  }
}
