“You look amazing.”
“You look hot in that dress.”
“You look sexy in that suit.”
“You look so cool.”
Or if you are freaking out about your own clothes. And you think: “I’m not gonna get into this event. I’m not gonna get into this club.” You can say:
“Oh my God. I look awful.”
Or, make yourself feel better by looking at bad photos of celebrities:
“Oh my God. What has he done to his face? He looks hideous.”
“She looks unhealthy.”
“He looks miserable.”
Or you can say look like someone or look like something. So, auf Deutsch: “Du siehst aus wie jemand.” So for example.
“You look like Kim Kardashian. Be careful with your jewellery.”
“You look like a tourist. You’re not going to get into Berghain dressed like that.”
“I look like a smurf.”
“Oh my god! I look like shit. I’m so hungover. I think I’m gonna get sick.”
And finally, you can also use look as a noun to describe the appearance or the overall impression that the clothes communicate. So, for example, you can say.
“Oh, that look is so now.”
“That look is a little bit last year.”
Or you could ask the question.
“So, what look is that?”
And the answer could be:
“Oh, it’s the classy look.”
Or: “This is the sporty look.”
Or “This is the Berlin look.”

TRANSCRIPT
Narrator
Hello and welcome to English at University - the series that teaches some English phrases to help you through your first year at university. Mary's just landed in London and is heading off for the University of Studies – but there's a problem – she's already lost. Mary, what's happened?
Mary
I think I got off at the wrong station and now I don't know which way to go.
Narrator
It's time to ask for help. Don't be scared. You'll find Londoners helpful and friendly people. Just be polite and ask them the way and see what they say.
Mary
OK. Here goes. Err, help me will you. I don't know where to go.
Passer-by
What? Sorry, I'm in a rush.
Narrator
You need to be polite, smile and start with 'excuse me'…
Mary
OK then. Excuse me… could you tell me the way to the University of Studies… please?
Passer-by
No. Never heard of it.
Mary
Oh dear. How am I going to find my way there? Oh, I'll ask him… I wonder if you could help me… please?
Daniel
Are you lost?!
Mary
Yes, I am. Please could you give me directions to the University of Studies?
Daniel
Yeah. Of course. I'm going there myself. It's my first day…
Mary
Me too! I don't suppose you could show me the way, could you?
Daniel
… I don't know why I'm studying there though. I should have gone to Oxford or Cambridge… I did so well in my A levels… but I suppose I can share my 'wisdom' with the other undergraduates… anyway…
Mary
Ermm, there's a sign…
Daniel
…my name's Daniel by the way. Are you just visiting?
Mary
No. I said I'm studying here too. My names Mary and look… there's a sign for the university.
Daniel
Nice to meet you Mabel. I think it's a left turn here then straight on.
Narrator
Oh dear Mary. Let's hope he's not doing the same course as you. He sounds like a complete loser – an idiot. Anyway, while Daniel's showing her where to go, let's look at the phrases she used to ask for directions…
Excuse me, could you tell me the way to…
I wonder if you could help me please?
Please could you give me directions to…
I don't suppose you could show me the way, could you?
You can practise these phrases, pick up a few more plus learn some top tips for travelling in the UK on our website at BBC Learning English dot com. Now, back to Mary… I've got a feeling she's has asked the wrong person for directions. This Daniel seems like a bit of a numpty – an idiot.
Daniel
Strange… I thought it was down here. Maybe it was right at the junction?
Narrator
Yep, he's a muppet. A total idiot.
Mary
Oh dear. Maybe we should ask that policeman over there?
Daniel
No, no, we'll be fine. Err… taxi! Taxi!
