Ski Goggles With a Sense of Style

Yes, I know, the main purpose of ski goggles is to protect your eyes. But, there's no reason why they can't add a bit of style to your outfit, too! Whether you're a seasoned snowboarder or a ski bunny, there are goggles to suit your sense of style.

Oakley is one of the first brands to come to mind when you think about quality eyewear, and their goggles are no exception. Now, they've joined forces with snowboarding phenom Gretchen Bleiler to come up with a collection that's equal parts fashion and function, including ski goggles. I'm absolutely in love with the neon blue Stockholm goggles ($130). It might be warm where I live, but these babies have me dreaming of snow.

Of course, you don't have to use up all your Christmas money for a hot new pair of goggles -- these purple Oakley O Frames are just $55.

I hear that Spy makes a great goggle, too, and they don't skimp when it comes to style. Snowy days get just a little sweeter when you're looking at them through rose colored, uh, goggles, like the Spy Bias Sour Punch Goggles (on sale for $97.95). Keep it cute with a pastel jacket, or toughen it up by pairing the baby pink frames with an all-black ensemble.

Looking for something slightly more subtle? I'm definitely digging the Smith Heiress Ski Goggle ($130). The white frame and iridescent lens is feminine and classy, but still fun and a little bit funky.
