Luciana Aymar returned to feature in a World Cup final for Las Leonas —who were crowned world champions for the third time— and her look captured every eye. The former world champion chose an ensemble in chocolate and habano tones, with one silhouette that is poised to become a star of spring 2026: balloon pants.
The Hockey World Cup final carried a special meaning for Aymar. The former captain and historical benchmark of Las Leonas knows well what it means to reach this stage: she was a world champion with the Argentine national team in 2002 and 2010, and she also took part in teams that earned bronze in 2006 and 2014.
This time, from a different vantage point, she accompanied the team in a decisive match and chose to do so with a sophisticated, comfortable, and very current look.
Luciana Aymar opted for chocolate for the final
For the occasion, Aymar assembled a styling in a palette of chocolate and habano, two neutral tones that bring warmth and elegance.
The standout piece was a habano-colored pant, with a wide silhouette and volume through the legs, which narrows toward the ankle or is worn loose, as Lucha Aymar did on this occasion. The garment blends comfort with a bold visual impact and is, indeed, one of the trends beginning to take center stage for spring. Lucha added a belt wrapped in the same fabric, an accessory that added elegance by cinching at the waist.
On the top half, the former Leona wore a chocolate-toned tailored vest, which provided structure to the ensemble and created an interesting contrast of proportions with the voluminous pants.
To complete the look, she added a university-inspired jacket that matches the pants. The choice maintained the same color family and gave the outfit a more relaxed and contemporary vibe, without sacrificing sophistication.
The balloon pant, the trend arriving for spring
The balloon silhouette is shaping up to be one of the season’s main protagonistas. Its defining feature is the volume that originates at the hip and runs down the legs, before tapering back at the ankle. The result is a rounded shape that completely transforms the traditional pant silhouette.
After several seasons dominated by straight, wide-leg, and tailored models, this alternative offers another way to wear wide pieces: with movement, volume, and a much more relaxed aesthetic.
In Aymar’s case, choosing a habano model is especially sophisticated because it naturally integrates with the chocolate palette of the rest of the ensemble.
How to wear balloon pants according to Luciana Aymar’s look
One of the keys to incorporating this trend is to balance the lower volume with more structured upper pieces.
The tailored vest chosen by Aymar works exactly in that direction: it defines the upper body and provides sharper lines against the pants’ volume.
Mixing different shades of brown is also an option for those looking to move away from the classic all-black. Chocolate, habano, beige and other earth tones allow constructing monochromatic looks but with varying depths of color.
Additionally, the university-style jacket shows that balloon pants can also work in more urban and casual outfits.
A look that nods to the new season
With her choice, Luciana Aymar combined three guiding principles of contemporary fashion: comfort, tailoring, and volume.
The result was a chic yet relaxed look, with an elegant color palette and a silhouette that promises to make a strong impression in the coming months.
Thus, as Las Leonas returned to compete in a world final, Aymar also showcased from the stands one of the trends that is set to define looks for spring 2026.
