My favorites were some wire frame, round lens "Blind Boy Bluesman" style. Sadly they didn't survive a crash and took a chunk of my cheek on the way out.
That's something to consider. On a group ride a few years ago, a friend was wearing his metal-framed glasses when he crashed, and one of the arms broke in half and impaled his cheek, right under an eye socket. He came close to losing an eye.
tldr: don't wear metal-framed glasses on a bike.
