There is a positive Torah commandment to place Tzitzit strands on a four cornered garment that one wears.This obligation extends to any garment with at least 4 corners, for instance, a 5 or 6 cornered garment. On such a garment, one should only attach tzitsis to four corners of the garment. The corners chosen should be the corners that are the farthest away from each other. However, bedieved, one may make a beracha even if the tzistis were not placed at the farthest corners of the clothe. There is, however, no obligation to wear such a garment in the first place.Nevertheless, it is certainly proper and correct to observe this important mitzvah by wearing Tzitzit all day.Additionally, the accepted minhag is to wear Tzitzit and one should not break from this minhag.
