Best Answer

There is no right or wrong time to begin wearing one.

The poppies usually begin going on sale about the 1st or 2nd of November, depending on geographical location. Many people will wear them as soon as they buy them.
However "traditionalists" claim the best time to start wearing a poppy is from the 2nd November until the 12th November.

Remembrance Day itself is on the 11th November. The Remembrance ceremony takes place at 11am. In other words, the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month, which commemorates Armistice Day.
