On Shabbat we will read Parshat Shlach which ends with the third paragraph of Shma which talks about the Mitzvah of Tzitzit.
Wearing Tzitzit is supposed to remind one of all 613 Mitzvoth - as it says "...make Tzitzit, and see them and thereby remember all the Mitzvoth of Hashem and do them".
Once a boy is toilet-trained he should wear a Tallit Katan - a 4-cornered garment with Tzitzit from the time he wakes up until he goes to sleep. This is besides for the Tallit worn in shul.
Women are exempt from the Mitzvah of Tzitzit, as it's a time-bound Mitzvah; it only applies during the day.
When putting on Tzitzit in the morning, the Bracha cannot be made until it is light enough outside to recognize a casual acquaintance from 4 Amos (~2 meters) away. This is about an hour before sunrise in Israel.
Men must put Tzitzit on all 4-cornered garments they wear, including ponchos. Bedsheets do not need Tzitzit.
Tzitzit may be worn even when going into a bathroom. However, the Tallit used for Davening should not be taken into the bathroom.
