This picture shows a person doing a head stand.
The person’s legs are vertical, but her jeans are not. They are off to the right a little bit. I describe this as follows.
Her legs are straight, but her jeans are _____.
What should I put in the "____" part?
I have come up with 2 possible words:
crooked – bent or twisted out of shape or out of place
I mean the jeans are kind of "out of place", right?
The other word is
tilted – moved or caused to move into a sloping position
The jeans are in a "sloping position", right?
What is the best word to put in there?
I have also considered "lean", as in "the leaning tower of Pisa". I don’t really know which fits better.
