Do you lose transmog if you switch covenants?

When switching covenants, you do not lose the transmog you have already unlocked, but you will not be able to apply Covenant-specific appearances on new gear because you are no longer a member of that Covenant. The gear you transmogged remains the same after the switch, allowing you to maintain your preferred aesthetic while exploring the other Covenants and their unique offerings.
