crossed legs
Casual sitting posture
Crossed legs describes a seated position where one leg is placed over the other, either at the knee or ankle.
The posture can signal relaxation, attentiveness, or formality depending on context.
Body language interpreters sometimes read crossed legs as defensive or closed off, though often it's simply comfortable: She sat with her legs crossed, waiting for the interview to begin.
