Stitch fix is a good option. You complete an onboarding intake process for size and preferences. And then you can make specific requests for what you want in your ‘fix’ like business casual, no torn jeans, a blazer and collared shirt. Try it on when it arrives, send back what doesn’t work and go from there. You don’t need a recurring subscription but it works well if you stick with it for a while and establish your size and style profile.
I love JCrew.com for New York style men's business suiting, plus blazers and lots of casual/activewear options.

Too general a question. It depends on generally what you need - suit or casual office for example. Then body type and age. Go to a Nordstrom or Barneys and get some advice. Check out Pinterest with a description of what you want to see. Start simple and build with basics and good accessories.
I’d say get a bunch of staples that you can mix and match and build outward from there. It’s the better Steve Harvey “5 suits/5 shirts” combo but actually works: three gray trousers (flannel, tropical wool, merino wool for seasonal changes), khaki chinos, dark-wash jeans, white Oxford, light blue oxford, white poplin, light blue poplin, navy blazer, beige blazer, white sneakers, leather penny loafers, suede penny loafers
I just bought a Halloween costume
I would say bonobos is a decent place to do a full reset all in one spot.
JCP if you have that nearby. I got black, grey, and blue slacks, blazer, suit jacket to match the black slacks, black and brown dress shoes and belts, and a variety of shirts in a style I liked, and just got new shirts as they cycled through different colors/designs each season to have variety. Easy to do a whole wardrobe with great discounts there. Got the suit tailored to fit better and I was set.
