The phrase “to wear your heart on your sleeve” originated in the Middle Ages. To let their feelings be known to all, knights pinned a handkerchief or a scarf belonging to the woman they loved onto their sleeves.

Today, the heart is often used as a symbol of one’s feelings of love or passion. To fully display the heart in a conspicuous place like the sleeve is to make one’s feelings clearly visible.

Wear your heart on your sleeve. With an anatomically correct drawing of the human heart, this design is intended for the strong-willed — not the feint of heart.
