The choices for teen girl backpacks can be overwhelming. Today I’m rounding up the best backpack choices for teen girls.

When it comes to teen girls a trendy backpack that will hold all of their backpack essentials is a must!
All of these styles are approved by my own teen girls! You’ll want to take into consideration your teen’s personal style and needs, but these are a great start!

Your child may prefer a neutral backpack that will easily go with any outfit she choses. Or she may prefer a colorful backpack that fits her personal style.

Pottery Barn has long carried the backpack favorites of my teen girls. Their Gear-up Backpack comes in several different sizes to suit your daughter’s needs. These rugged backpacks are durable and water-resistant while still being stylish. Plus they have plenty of compartments so your teen can take her laptop, books, and music wherever she goes.

These backpacks come in colors and styles to match any girl’s style- from tie dyes, to neutrals, to florals, and trendy patterns – they really have it all!

If your daughter prefers neutrals with a more classic preppy style, she’ll want to check out the line of Northfield Backpacks. These still have a padded laptop sleeve and a few sizes to choose from. The washed canvas colors are a favorite of both my teen daughters. They both carry the smallest size backpack on day trips, even when not carrying school supplies as a convenient hands free purse that looks cute with any outfit.

If your school requires a clear backpack, Pottery Barn also has an adorable one that will look cute and last.
