polarized, and prescription if you need one. The color’s going to depend on where you’re flying: if it’s primarily hazy, then grey’s a good color. If you need high contrast, an amber color works.
Regardless, you need lenses dark enough that you can’t see your eyes when you look in a mirror.
As to type, well ideally you should have ones that don’t allow glare to peek in under, or over the frames. But I flew with “John Lennon” glasses for over 12 years, so knock yourself out.
Polarized are not a good idea usually, as the gages glass covers are polarized. Polarized on polarized can sometimes appear to be very tinted or even blacked out.
I would go with some lightweight Serengeti’s with flexible arms, because if you get stiff arms it could hold the earmuff off your ear, therefore less noise reduction.
With the polarized glasses some instruments and/or gages might not be visible
The Serengeti’s work well, they have high contrast. I am able to detect other aircraft sooner with them. They are lightweight and the lenses are glass so you don’t have to replace them every six months. They get darker with sunlight and are not polarized. Any of the driver series.
Forget all the pilot styles. Get a good pair of ski glasses. I use Varnet. You’ll want it for the glare and the sun when its low in the windshield. They are also good for looking from the bright sunlight down to the instrument panel as the cut through flat light. You may look cool in the cockpit with pilot sunglasses but the chicks at the beach love the Varnets.
I would recomend Amber non-polorized glasses.
I do not personally wear glasses in the plane, since I like to see the instuments better.
Really it needs to be something that you feel comfortable with, but they shouldn’t be polarized as it sometimes makes the gauges and instruments hard to see. You may want to look at you can find anything aviation there and I know they sell sunglasses.
Go with whatever you are comfortable with. I fly a glass cockpit bizjet. So, polarized hurts my ability to see the panels clearly. However, you as a student need some comfortable (fit with your headset on) glasses. they don’t have to be super dark..whatever you would use while driving should work well enough. I used to have the small frame randolph aviators with gray lenses. they worked great…now i use Ironman ( from Target) they work great…and the sun is really bright at 41000 feet (most of the time).

My best recommendation is to look for a friend with PX privileges and spend the money on an honest pair of real US military issue aviator’s sunglasses. Mine lasted more than twenty years before I lost them in the recycling bin at work.
They are gray so they won’t change the color of anything you’re looking at. They just make it darker.
They are not polarized so you’ll be more likely to see the glint off the canopy of another airplane at a distance; before he gets really big in your windshield. It gives you a little more time to react.
Don’t worry about looking cool. Worry about seeing what you care about. You can buy the cool sunglasses for when you go to the beach.
