Any advice on where to shop online for this or do we prefer brick and mortar chains, maybe local suit shops are better? Either way I will have them tailored to fit better if off the rack. Just help me update my look to not look like a child perpetually in jeans and street clothes.

Amazon. Look for the suits with 1000's of positive reviews.

You're right to emphasize fit, but there are many other factors, not least of which is your budget. If you can only spend $200-300 per suit you simply won't get the quality that you can obtain at higher price points.

If you're really interested in getting good guidance on clothing I suggest that you start frequenting Ask Andy About Clothes.

I always got mine at Nordstroms. A bit more expensive but better quality and the sales staff and tailors there really know what they are doing.

Brooks Brothers has a good selection of everyday suits, and the company runs its own outlets which have better deals on suits and shirts, though you can do well if you time the sales. Many department stores have ranges of suits to fit most anyone, and at different price points, so Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, etc. are generally good places to look.

Suit Supply is very popular right now. They are online, but they also have brick and mortar stores in major US cities.

if you live in certain big metros, Bonobos--the online menswear/prep shop-- has try-on boutiques where you can actually get sized & see the garments. You don't get to take it home with you though since the actual item is shipped to your door from their warehouse.
