HOUSTON – Let’s face it, (no pun intended) masks are now the new norm and it’s going to be a while before we stop wearing them.
According to the CDC, there are many benefits of wearing cloth face coverings, including the slowdown of spreading COVID-19. In case you need other reasons why to wear a face covering, you don’t have to worry about dealing with bad breath, foul scents and for some people, wearing makeup underneath your nose.

While a majority of people are okay with the usage of face coverings, more Houstonians are beginning to express their personalities and styles with their face coverings.
From the team logos to matching blouses, there are many styles for all types of individuals. If you are still looking for that perfect design, we compiled a list of 11 local shops you can support.
