What Is The Best Coat To Wear On Interview?

I am interviewing for a job in the beauty industry and I live where it is cold in the Winter.  I want to take advantage of the post-Holiday sales and get a new coat but not sure what is best.  I want to slenderize my figure but not look too trendy but look nice for my interviews.

Any ideas what type of coat would be best to buy?  I think most figure-flattering styles are well-fitted to the upper body, tucking in at the waist and flaring out from below to hide hips, butt and thighs but not sure if this is still considered a flattering style?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Also the best color?  Is there a best color?

Leather jackets, fur coats, and styling ones are not the right choice for an interview. You need something that will look professional. A business coat, made of wool or a mix of cotton and wool.
