I’m riding a Giro syntax mips and I think it looks good. Classic if you will. I’ll let know know about the performance after my next crash.

I don't shop by looks*, I don't shop by price. I try on a whole bunch of helmets, and I buy the best fitting one. After making sure it's black.
If there is indeed such a thing as a stylish bike helmet, I've not seen it. They all look fairly ridiculous.
*not 100% true. I won't buy a Catlike, because they are hideous. Luckily they also don't fit my head well.

Asian fit? WTF? A Giro Register has two adult sizes: standard (54 - 61) and XL (58 - 64). Adjustable webbing provides the fit for heads smaller than the shell circumference. To a driver, any helmet looks great on a cyclist. It means they can be hit harder so there is less need to be as careful around them.

Leisestrum and livedarklions,
Both of you leave this thread now. I’m cleaning up the thread with both of your posts antagonizing each other.

Then there is always this: https://hovding.com
Awesome invention, great for commuting, but unfortunately not for sale in the U.S. Also, a normal bike helmet will help with things like branches brushing your head when you ride by some bushes, but this one will not. Still, I’d take one in a heartbeat if I could get one. I saw them used in Europe and they made cycling possible for many people who were afraid to mess up their hair with a helmet.

OP: I didn't read all responses, so perhaps someone already mentioned this site.
