look great vs. look well (good)

Hi,

You don’t look well(or good).

The meaning of the sentence above is “You seem sick.” or “You look tired/pale”. Can I say “You don’t look great.” instead? I think “to look great” is used when you want to talk about other’s appearance or outfit, not health. What do you think?

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

Yes, I agree that ‘great’ in your context refers to a peron’s looks and clothes.
