How it's used
This expression uses hyperbole to describe someone whose appearance is so striking that it supposedly shatters mirrors. It is a highly informal and enthusiastic way to compliment someone's style or overall look. While it can be used for both men and women, it is most frequently applied to men who are dressed in a particularly fashionable or sharp way.
Examples
He is dressed like that today, he really looks incredibly cool!
Where did you buy this outfit? It looks super stylish!

Common mistake
Avoid using this in professional or formal settings, as the imagery is quite dramatic and colloquial. It is strictly reserved for casual conversations among friends or peers.
