Traditionally they were worn in the two weeks prior to Remembrance Day. In practice, that basically means from November 1 on, since they aren't really sold until after halloween. Traditionally they are also removed at Remembrance Day ceremonies, and placed at a memorial.
Personally, I wear it from November 1, and remove it after the two minutes of silence on the 11th.
