Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'look' = appear, 'so' = very (intensifier), and 'douchey' = obnoxious/arrogant, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer 'appear very obnoxious'. Although 'douchey' is informal/slang, its adjectival meaning plus the intensifier makes the overall sense predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Look so douchey creates a clear image: imagine someone at a party wearing flashy clothes and loudly showing off—this is what people call douchey. That's why saying look so douchey means 'to appear obnoxious, arrogant, or socially unacceptable'.
