helmet types?

so I plan on getting a helmet that I will wear in certain biking situations...
we will leave it at that to avoid the yes or no helmet debate...

my question is.... can someone suggest a helmet that is not strange and misshapen.
I understand the aerodynamic and ventilation principles at play with most helmet shapes...
but much of my riding will be done in blue jeans and boots with a jacket on so im not going
for the tour de france or land speed record here.

also,-? whats up with the cheap-o styrofoam and bike helmets?
it seems like every other kind of helmet made is made from a durable shell over dense foam rubber... again this might make sense for someone in a race on a $5000 carbon bike....
but not so much someone looking for durability.

are the styles of most helmets sort-of fad inspired by racers and pros?
are there other options?

thanks!
