What It Does

The Custom Classes plugin allows you to create custom classes for posts when post_class() is called and for the class when body_class() is called. It creates a meta box on the edit post and edit term screens in the admin with input boxes for adding your custom classes.

Custom post classes are added whenever your theme calls the post_class() function, which is generally whenever a post is shown. Custom body classes are added on the single view of the post whenever your theme calls the body_class() function.

This plugin works with any public post type on your site, not just limited to the 'post' post type. If your theme isn't using the appropriate functions, you may need to talk to your theme author for a fix.
