Inside: A list of halloween costumes for tomboys teens that will work for whatever your style is.
Halloween is coming up and now is the perfect time to start thinking about what you want to be. Teenage girls are often pressured into wearing very feminine costumes, but that just doesn’t work for everybody.
Each of us has our own style that we feel most confident and comfortable in. Personally, when I was a teen, I was a tomboy. I like more gender-neutral clothing that was comfier rather than form-fitting.
I liked it that way, so it was kind of hard to come up with a costume that I would enjoy.
So for you tomboys out there, I have come up with a list of the best halloween costumes for tomboys teens that will get you super excited for this spooky season. Take a look through the ones below to see what might spark your interest.

If you don’t like costumes that take a long time to make then this first list is for you. I made sure to include some of these easy-to-put-together costumes because not all of us have the resources and time to put together something that is complex. But hey, that is completely okay. Even the simplest of costumes can have the biggest effect on Halloween. So take a look at these and see which direction you want to go.
