We override style of Virtuemart to fit the template design. All the customized style is stored in an independent .less file: templates\ja_cagox\less\extras\com_virtuemart.less. If you want to customize style, you should use the file.

You can assign the customize style to specific Virtuemart pages. Go to template style manager, in the "Add-on" tab, select pages you want to apply the customized style in com_virtuemart.less file. Leave it blank and the style in the file will be not applied for any page.
