The costumes are made from simple garments that can be sourced anywhere and a few toy accessories. One of the great things about the imaginations of children is that they aspire to be whoever they want to be regardless of gender stereotypes. These homemade ninja costumes are ideal for both young girls and boys wanting to dress up as mysterious crime fighters for Halloween. According to lifestyle blog Little Inspiration, [baggy ninja pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randoseru) and hoodie shirts can be purchased through Nununu -- but similar pieces can be found anywhere. The trick is to find a hoodie shirt or dress in either grey or black, similar colored pants and a face mask if desired. Then add some plastic ninja stars or daggers to complete the look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gender-neutral Costumes:** Opportunity for costume manufacturers to create gender-neutral costume options for children. - **Children's Imagination:** Exploring and promoting children's imagination without gender limitations can lead to innovative costume designs. - **Inclusive Halloween:** Encouraging costume diversity and inclusivity during Halloween celebrations can open up new markets for retailers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel:** Apparel companies can leverage the demand for gender-neutral costumes by offering a wider range of options and designs for children. - **Toy:** Toy manufacturers can create gender-neutral costume accessories, such as plastic ninja stars or daggers, to complement the gender-neutral costumes. - **Retail:** Retailers can tap into the inclusive Halloween trend by curating collections of gender-neutral costumes and marketing them to a diverse audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ninja-Themed Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-ninjas.md) - [Candy Bowl Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trickortreatable-costume.md) - [Interactive Fossil-Inspired Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-dinosaur-costume.md) - [Gender-Neutral Stroller Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herotron.md) - [Kpop Film Costume Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demon-hunters-costumes.md) - [Hybrid Base-Mid Layers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-suits.md) - [Sweet-and-Salty Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes-and-cinnabon-costumes.md) - [Smiling Sponge Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrub-daddy-costume.md) - [Life-Sized Clog Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-costume.md)
