Suits, I need to update, what's appropriate these days?

My last suits finally got lost in transit or bit the dust, and I realize I haven't bought a suit in quite some time, probably since 2015 or 2016. A lot has changed since I last thought about suits, and I'd love to hear some thoughts from people at all levels about what I should look for in a suit for meetings, presentations, conferences, or evening events.  

I'm have my own company now, and I don't know if I should still be dressing like I did for super Saturdays, but I also don't want to look eccentric. I want to seem professional for clients, but also approachable, and not showy or arrogant. I deal with people who remember when everyone on wall street wore a suit to work, and also people who mainly remember keeping a zoom shirt on the back of their chair. I also don't want my employees to think I look silly or douchy. 

So now that I need to go back on the road, what are you seeing people wear these days, and what do you like or dislike about it?
