How I did it: I went to the hat shop tried on the vast array of hats. I looked like a range of things, such as a seedy rockstar, a vaudvillean busker, an extra from "wind that shook the barley", a hard boiled dick, a boater, an elderly golf club member, but nothing that felt like me.
I left the hat shop and went online and bought the hat I had before a nice summery flatcap. Now I have to wait two weeks for it to arrive, but when it does I will feel like I am me again.

Lessons & tips: try them on, but don't take it unless you are sure. You can never feel more self conscious than wearing a hat that is ill fitting either physically and psychologically
