Halloween Costume Ideas for Teens<\/h2>

Star Wars Costume Ideas<\/h3>\n
\n \n \n \n \"Star \n <\/picture>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text css=””]Star Wars is a cult favourite for film lovers everywhere and with a story full of battles between good and evil, it\u2019s the perfect inspiration for your teen\u2019s Halloween outfit. Kylo Ren and Darth Vader are both iconic characters from the movie, and dressing up as them is easy.<\/p>\n

For a DIY home version, all you need is a black outfit and a black robe. Add a lightsaber sword and mask accessory, and you’re done! If you would prefer to buy one, this Darth Vader costume from Party Delights goes up to size 14 years old \u2013 check it out here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Teenage girls might like to pick one of the feisty, strong female leads from Star Wars, such as Princess Lea or Rey. This Force Awakens Rey costume from Rubie Fancy Dress here<\/a> will really make your teenage girl look the part![\/vc_column_text]

Harry Potter & The Wizarding World<\/h3>\n
\n \n \n \n \"a \n <\/picture>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text css=””]Just about anyone has seen or read the Harry Potter series. After all, it’s a worldwide hit that’s still loved to this day, 23 years after it hit the big screen.<\/p>\n

Teens are growing up with their Harry Potter-loving parents and have learned to love it, too. So, I couldn’t leave this out. Make your very own Harry Potter, Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger! You can either stick to the classic school costume with a robe and a wand or dress up in an iconic outfit from the movie.<\/p>\n

Harry’s could be his trusty blue shirt and blue zip-up jacket with jeans. Hermione could be either her pink dress from Goblet of Fire or jeans and a pink zip-up jacket from the Prisoner of Azkaban. Don’t forget the Time Turner necklace (you could pick any of her outfits, really!). Ron is the easiest, a classic Weasley Christmas jumper<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget the wands and, if you want, a house scarf. Then, use a pumpkin bucket or sorting hat as your sweet tub when trick or treating!<\/p>\n

There are plenty of fictional characters they can choose to dress up as! All you need is your imagination, outfit ideas and fun accessories![\/vc_column_text]

Friends Costume Ideas<\/h3>\n
\n \n \n \n \"Friends \n <\/picture>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text css=””]The classic characters from the 90\u2019s TV show are still loved today, and many teenagers are now falling in love with this cult classic after it made a recent comeback in popularity.<\/p>\n

A fun Halloween costume idea for teens would be to dress up as their favourite character from Friends. Even better, it’s an excellent option if they have a group of friends<\/em> who love it, where each person can pick a character to dress as! For example, a white apron could be added to a pleated skirt to give Rachel a coffee waitress look. Put on a pair of khaki pants and a button-down shirt, and voila, you are Chandler!<\/p>\n

Why not add a Central Perk coffee mug in your hand for added fun- get one here.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text]

Traditional Halloween Costume<\/h3>\n

Dracula<\/strong>\u2013 get some temporary hair dye out and turn your teenage boy\u2019s hair dark black. A white shirt with black clothing, including a cape, is ideal to look like a real Dracula: Prince of Darkness! Fangs and fake blood for an extra scary costume effect are easily found at most good fancy dress shops.<\/p>\n

Witch<\/strong>\u2013 as they have now grown up a bit and want to move on from the cute witch stage, teenage girls might like to glam up and have a more dressy outfit for their Halloween witch costume. Teenage girls can have fun with false eyelashes and dramatic eye makeup! A black dress is a must for this classic costume, but don\u2019t forget your witch hat. You can find plenty of options here.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text]

Your teen will have a blast experimenting with accessories, hair and make-up to add to the clothes. Ariana Grande is well known for wearing a hair bow and long ponytail hair pieces- shops like Claire\u2019s Accessories are a treasure trove for items like this.<\/p>\n

NSYNC<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the resurgence of their popular ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’ song thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine (we’ll see them later), why not have a group of your son’s friends dress up as the iconic bandmates? It’s super easy to find clothes that mimic the ’90s eras. Either choose their white ensemble or try your best to channel the music video outfits! Don’t forget the head bandanas!<\/p>\n
