Unless they completely surround your eyes to block outside light, VR "sunglasses" would absolutely awful. For VR to work well, you need immersion, which is not possible when the edge of your vision is filled with the scene of where you are in the real world.
AR sunglasses on the other hand would be great, but I'm not convinced AR has much of a future outside of some specific niches.
The biggest hurdle for any sort of portable VR or AR is compute and power. VR is incredibly compute intense, which means portable headsets only have a 1-2 hour battery life and need a heavy battery.
