You must create and register a new theme:

You just need to create 2 files theme.xml and registration.php these are the examples for the theme in the image (Dayds). You should change that name for your own.

app/design/frontend/Dayds/default/registration.php

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::THEME,
    'frontend/Dayds/default',
    __DIR__
);

app/design/frontend/Dayds/default/theme.xml

<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>DAYDS . Default</title>
    <parent>Magento/luma</parent>
</theme>

Then go to the backend and activate your new theme for the desired store.

Override Default Magento2 Luma Theme with Custom Theme

To override parent styles, you should create the following:

In your theme directory, create a web/css/source sub-directory.
Create a _theme.less file there.
Copy all variables you need from the parent <Magento_Luma_theme_dir>/web/css/source/_theme.less, including those which will not be changed.
Make the necessary changes.
