Fashion for the over 50s

Hi, did see a thread on this but it was dated a couple of years ago.
Going for a rare shopping trip up to Bluewater in the morning, don't have much time, which shops should I head for??
Most of my clothes are getting on (not quite as old as me!) but I live in mainly trousers and what I would like to think of as funky tops (that's funky not frumpy). I'm over 50 but don't feel it inside, but then I don't want to look like I've hit the mutton button.
I have the black tights and a great pair of black knee length boots from Faith, but need help - I'm not keen on clingy dresses (got too much bum for dresses to cling too!!!). I'm thinking White Stuff direction, or maybe Zara??? Anybody help out please?

Hobbs definitely worth a look too, IMO.

Thanks all, had a great morning at Bluewater, I headed for John Lewis and ended up with a short cord skirt, a navy pair of cords, two tunic tops (White Stuff and Joules) and a short sleeved top and cardie (again White Stuff). Love em all x
