Suit Recommendations for Style Upgrade from Traditional HF, HSM, and BB

Several of my suits are in need of replacement and I'd like recommendations of similary priced suits that would still fall into the category of timeless and classic but have a slightly more modern and updated look (i.e. trimmer cut, plain front, etc.) than what I've been accustomed to while still being appropriate for both my age and profession. Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback.

Hickey Freeman has apparently launched a new line, replacing Madison, Boardroom etc, and that line incorporates more fitted options
