The kippah you use says much about you...
"In Israel wearing a kippah also has a social significance. While wearing a kippah shows that you are somewhat religious, not­wearing one is like stating, "I'm not religious." The style of kippah in Israel can also indicate political and religious affiliations. Classical orthodoxy uses a large, smooth, black one shaped like a bowl. Many Hasidim use large black felt or satin, and a "rebellious son" may wear a slightly smaller black kippah to show his independence while remaining in the Classicist camp. Another play on this rebellion is to wear a knitted black kippah. This is also usually used to confuse people as to where you stand".

So.. if you wanna use a "neutral" kippah, wich kind of kippah would you use???

Interesting thought. But, I doubt is anyone wants a neutral one-everyone has something he wants to express.

Personally I like a man in a Sephardic one-they are so pretty, and it shows a heritage that I care about.

A couple more answers down-she is mixed up. She is referring to an Arab head wear, not a Jewish one.

My kippah is a Guatamalan cap that I got at a folk festival in upstate New York. It's the same design as some Israeli/Sephardi ones, an inch-wide band with a flat top bit.

Not orthodox at all. :-)

Interesting question. Your essay is very informative. I did some additional research and think I lean towards the keffieh:

This is worn by Bedouins. I like the idea of a roaming lifestyle.
