There is no specific halacha bedavka to wear a kippah. The halacha is to wear a head covering to denote Yirah Malka (hence, Yarmulke). My zaidie in Europe O”H wore something on his head that looked nothing like the kippot of today, more like a box. It is a pet peeve of mine that some people are more concerned with what is covering the head, than the fact that the head is being covered. What is under the kippah, is far more important than the kippah itself. And that among other things, is what causes divisiveness.
