This year, the Miss Teen USA pageant is doing away with the swimsuit competition and instead is creating the athletic wear category.
The concept is to promote a healthy and active life style and celebrate being in shape and healthy. But, many pieces of athletic wear might be a bit too revealing for a teen, or maybe they don’t like to wear an old, baggy T-shirt.
Fear not, because there are plenty of cute and fun pieces of workout clothes for teens, and moms will approve.
