Morphology
Although 'dressed' and 'like' are transparent, the head noun 'sophisto' is non‑standard/unattested in dictionaries and its relation to 'sophisticated' or 'sophisticate' is not reliably predictable for a B1 learner. Because the crucial lexical item is opaque or slangy rather than compositional, the overall meaning cannot be confidently derived from the parts.
Etymology
The phrase dressed like a sophisto comes from the short word sophisto, used for a stylish city person who wore smart coats and hats. That's why the phrase means 'wearing fashionable and sophisticated clothes'.
