It's entirely up to you. Some people are happy to ski in goggles all the time, in which case they only need sunglasses if they are having lunch or a drink outside. In this case any style of sunglasses will do. If you prefer to ski in sunglasses, weather permitting of course, then you would be better off going for a sports/wraparound style to keep out the wind. You can pay anything from 'peanuts' upwards for sunglasses. If you are on a tight budget, the sports sunglasses in Aldi or Lidl that are labelled UV400 are more than adequate. If money's no object, what about a pair of these badboys? :wink: http://uk.oakley.com/products/6955/26221

Personally, I find I am skiing more and more in my goggles, so I just take my summer 'sunnies' for al fresco lunches. Hope this helps. :)

And old sunnies will do although I tend to ski in goggles all the time and carry sunnies for drink or food stops.
Tk maxx always has some decent ones. I picked up some really nice Nike ones at lunchtime for £17 rrp normally over £130
