Django 1.8 cannot locate static css file

On my development env, I get this error when trying to access static css file:

Page not found (404)

Request Method: GET Request URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/styles.css

Some lines from the settings.py:

DEBUG = True

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Path to my styles.css file (where eshop is a root folder of my project):

/eshop/static/styles.css

Relevant lines from my html file:

{% load staticfiles %}
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'styles.css' %}" />
    ...

Could you please advice on what i'm doing wrong?

Add the following to your settings.py file:

# define global static
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

Or just put the static files inside each app:

app_folder/static/app_name
