Interview Clothes

So I am looking for a new job, and since I didn't have any interview clothes, went out and bought some smart black cigarette leg, heavy ish wool blend trousers from Reiss, some black leather brogues, and a navy blue silky shirt from m and s. I think it looks good together. Question is, do I need a black blazer ( expensive?). I was planning on wearing a navy/ black wool blend double breasted Barbour coat as it's autumn and a blazer would not keep me warm if I need to walk any distance. The jobs in going for are all admin/ coordinator/ project management type roles in a large university, so it's not massively corporate, but obviously professional. I want to look smart but also show some personality i.e not look like I'm dressed as a waitress ( I have worked as a waitress before and that is not the look I'm going for). So do you think it sounds okay, and would it be better to suck it up and buy the matching blazer?

Sounds lovely outfit! It depends if you need to walk anywhere.

If I was going for an interview I would wear the trousers and top with a non matching blazer/jacket that I already have (tweed/velvet/jersey/cropped) which ever looks best.

If i knew I was going public transport I would ditch the blazer. If i was driving and parking on site I would not take a coat.
