@Edith Crawley, welcome to SHs 
To be honest, any decent sunglasses will be fine. Decathlon, for example, do a pretty wide selection of sporty sunglasses.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

While sunglasses will (mostly) work, goggles are generally more comfortable, especially with a helmet. They also offer better light protection and keep the wind out. If you insist on sunnies, get something with a good wraparound fit and a mirrored coating, and remember they will probably get trashed. Otherwise, buy some goggles and swap to any pair of sunnies for the lunch time terrace.

@Edith Crawley, welcome to snowHeads. Good advice about goggles above and you’ll need those in some light conditions anyway.
I’ve also used sunglasses for skiing and not had problems with them getting broken. Robust looking frames that are likely to stand up to a few knocks are needed. A decent protective case for carrying also good.
Eye health protection is most important, so high light filter (Category 3+) and UV400 protection recommended.
Wraparound style also cuts out light and wind from side.
Lens quality and clarity of vision important for reading snow terrain when skiing. Unfortunately I’ve found the more expensive brands, such as Ray Ban and Maui Jim, best for that.
If you find some good cheaper ones please let us know.

@Edith Crawley, Sun God polarised lenses, excellent. However i'd suggest goggles not sunglasses, better all around vision.
