Adding class to select tag

I'm trying to add a class to a select tag so a drop down menu can inherit some css styling but I can't get the style to apply. Am I formatting the class incorrectly?

Here's my code:

packagesmenu {
    box-shadow: none!important;
    background: transparent!important;
    background-color: transparent!important;
    padding: 8px 5px!important;
    border-top: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    border-left: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    border-right: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    max-width: 100%!important;
    outline: none;
    border-radius: 0;
    margin-bottom:15px!important;
    text-transform:none!important;
}

packagesmenu:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #ee2b30!important;
border-top: 1px solid #ee2b30!important ;
    border-left: 1px solid #ee2b30!important;
    border-right: 1px solid #ee2b30!important;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ee2b30!important;
}
<select style="width:100%;display:block;max-width:600px;margin:0 auto;" onchange="window.location.href = this.value" class="packagesmenu" name="packagesmenu" >

I cleaned up your css. Inline css too. Don't use inline styles - this is poor and hard to maintain, someday you find out, right now please, believe me. Don't use !importand, it is bad practice, just don't.

To declare in css:

  • an element body select use tag
  • a class .someclass use dot and class name
  • an id #bigid use hash and id name

without spaces. But after : and ; always put space. It is allowed without spaces now, but good practice, readability and tradition are strict - spaces!

body{
background: #000;           /* this to see background of select */
}
select{                 /* no inline css */
display: block;
width: 100%;
max-width: 600px;
margin: 0 auto;
color: #aaa;
}
.packagesmenu {
background: 0;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
border-radius: 0;
outline: none;
max-width: 100%;
padding: 8px 5px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
.packagesmenu:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #ee2b30;
border: 1px solid #ee2b30;
}
<select onchange="window.location.href = this.value" class="packagesmenu" name="packagesmenu" >
<option>Find your location</option>

In the CSS, a class selector is a name preceded by a full stop (“.”) and an ID selector is a name preceded by a hash character (“#”).

So you're class name declaration wrong.

.packagesmenu {
    box-shadow: none!important;
    background: transparent!important;
    background-color: transparent!important;
    padding: 8px 5px!important;
    border-top: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    border-left: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    border-right: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA!important;
    max-width: 100%!important;
    outline: none;
    border-radius: 0;
    margin-bottom:15px!important;
    text-transform:none!important;
}

.packagesmenu:focus {
    box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #ee2b30!important;
    border-top: 1px solid #ee2b30!important ;
    border-left: 1px solid #ee2b30!important;
    border-right: 1px solid #ee2b30!important;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ee2b30!important;
}
