I'm built kind of like you, tall and inverted triangle shape (broad shoulders, narrow hips, big rack, no waist). My suit is from J. Crew, but I bought it five years ago so I can't speak to their current suiting line.

Best button-down shirts for me are J. Crew -- big enough for my chest but cut slim throughout the torso, and long enough that they stay tucked in. The house brand at Nordstrom also works well, though they aren't as long. Outside of those two brands, I try to avoid button-downs because they're all boxy and look awful. I buy a lot of embellished sleeveless or short sleeved silk tops from various places that look beautiful with cardigans/jackets and still look professional without any boob-gap issues.

I've also done well with pants from J. Crew, as long as I get the long size. I also have four different colors of the same wool pencil skirt from J. Crew that I adore.

Ann Taylor really doesn't work well for me -- the pants seem to be cut for someone with a smaller waist and bigger hips.
