This way, you can spend your energy arguing with your tween over how late they’re going to stay out trick-or-treating instead. From pop culture costumes to old classics, these costumes are sure to appeal to tweens and adults alike. And the best part is that they can also get in on the fun by pulling items that they already have from their closet to complete their ensemble. The new variation on the old standby still requires a pit stop at the costume superstore to pick up cat ears and a tail (unless you already have a set at home). Tween costumes don’t have to be corny or cutesy, and even if you can't get your kid to agree to a family Halloween costume, you can still find them DIY costume ideas they'll actually want to wear. Why dress up as a black cat when you can distinguish yourself from the other felines that are out and about in the neighborhood with this last-minute costume. Luckily, there are plenty of tween Halloween costumes both parents and kids will love. Your pre-teen might push to wear something more mature, but unless you’re ready to see your kid dressed like they’re going to a college party, you’ll have to compromise on a Halloween costume that will make you both happy. While they’re too old to dress up as a kitty or princess, they aren’t yet old enough to dress up as, you know, a sexy kitty or sexy princess. Raising a tween is difficult enough without having to agree with them on what they're going to wear for Halloween.
