Glam mums who find themselves exhausted after a week of housekeeping will appreciate a little help jazzing up their looks in time for Mother's Day on Sunday.

What better way to do so than some celebrity-inspired sunnies to make them look and feel like a star?

It's a foolproof way to cover up those tired eyes after one too many late nights. And with the hot month of June approaching, it is time to update their sunglasses wardrobe to protect them against the glare of the sun.

Stylish celeb mums such as American actress Katie Holmes and Australian model Miranda Kerr are known to don different brands, from the understated but sophisticated shades of Giorgio Armani and Ray-Ban, to quirky, playful tortoise-shell frames from Stella McCartney and Miu Miu.

If these luxury brands are out of your price range, mid-range offerings, such as Elle, Trussardi and Esprit, work just fine, too, without lacking the oomph factor.

A swanky 2013 collection was rolled out by these brands recently.

Take a look at Elle's auburn retro tortoise shades (model EL 18971, from $173 onwards) and Trussardi's dark round-frame glasses with a peek-a-boo hinge for added class (model TR 12845, from $238 onwards).

Or Esprit's classic aviators (model ET 17794, from $156 onwards), which come in colours such as navy blue and brown.

Ms Natalie Wang, assistant marketing manager of the brands' distributor, Sin Kwang Optical, said the shades represent the many facets of young mothers and portray their vibrancy, vivaciousness and glow.

For instance, the "timeless classic beauty of the Trussardi sunglasses frames her confidence and warmth", she said. And the casual chic of Esprit shields her from the sun while she is out at the beach with her kids, she added.

Take it from us, a fashionable mum is a happy mum.
