Styles overwriting in WPF

I'm using MahApps.Metro to achieve Metro UI in my app.

I have a listview and MahApps.Metro is changing style for it. MahApps styles for listview are here.

Loading of styles:

<Window.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Colours.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Fonts.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.AnimatedSingleRowTabControl.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Accents/Blue.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Accents/BaseLight.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/FineRSS;component/Resources/Icons.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>

I need to keep track of selected listviewitems so I'm using the next approach:

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                    <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=IsSelected}"/>
                </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

But MahApps.Metro's style is overwritten to ListView's default.

What can I do to keep either styles and IsSelected binding?

I'm not positive I follow what you're trying to do, but would it make sense to make your Style be BasedOn the default one that is loaded?

Something like

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle> 
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}" 
           BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ListViewItem}}"> 
        <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=IsSelected}"/> 
    </Style> 
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
