49 DIY Teen Halloween Costumes Perfect for 2021
These ideas are epic and easy to pull off.
Jane Merritt/Jenny Cookies
If there's a holiday that teens love best, it just might be Halloween. After all, there are so many fun Halloween family activities in October, like visiting haunted houses, thinking up pumpkin carving ideas, and binging on scary horror movies for kids. But for most teens—just like younger kids and moms and dads alike—the best part of the season is usually dressing up, whether it's to play Halloween party games or trick-or-treating. But unfortunately, clever and cool teen Halloween costumes are often hard to come by, because it can be difficult to strike the right tone between the kind of costume teens wore as children and the kind of ensemble that appeals to adults.
But we've managed to round up 50 absolutely perfect teen Halloween costumes that will have your kids cheering—or at least looking up from their phone screens. We've brought together easy, inexpensive DIY costumes inspired by television shows and movies including Riverdale and Wonder Woman, social media fundamentals like emojis and hashtags and even a few ready-made getups that are seriously funny (check out the inflatable tub). And when your teens win the Instagram costume battles thanks to you? You'll be the GOAT for sure.
