Do I use "tilted" or "crooked" to describe the jeans in the picture?

This picture shows a person doing a head stand:

enter image description here

As you can see, the person's legs are actually straight (vertical) but her jeans are not. They are kind of "off to the right" a little bit. To describe this, I use the sentence:

Her legs are straight but her jeans are _____.

What should be put in the "____" part?

I have come up with 2 possible words

crooked

Dictionary definition: 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

Dictionary definition: tilt - move or cause to move into a sloping position

I think 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". And I don't really know which is the best one...
