(something) looks like a (something)
When you want to explain how something looks by comparing it to something else, or putting it in a category, use "look like a ___":
He looks like a really nice guy.
This looks like a good spot to set up camp. What do you think?
This is different from how you use an adjective. When you're just using an adjective, you can use "look ___":
That looks expensive.
