I wear my tzitzit. No tallits or tallit katans because those are of judaism.
You have to attach it to a four cornered garment (so a rectangular or square garment, which excludes a T-shirt). Whatever you want to call this garment is inconsequential.

No, the command is not to wear a four cornered garment, but to wear tzitzits. If you have no 4 cornered garment on, you are still to wear them regardless.
The earth has 4 corners in scripture, yet is round. Lets draw from this parallel.

The command is precise, read,
“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself. (Deuteronomy 22:12 [ESV])
As such, you need,
A. Four cornered garment.
B. Tzizit
God has exact specifications with WHERE and ON WHAT he wants the tzizit attached. So again, whatever you want to call the four cornered garment, is up to you, but it must be a garment of four corners. If you need a tailor to weave you a tallit, I can recommend a tailor in Jerusalem that made mine.
Does it say: "Thou shalt wear a 4 cornered garment"? This is judaism at work by adding to the commandment.
It says you will attach the tzizit to a four cornered garment. It doesn't say attach it to your finger, or your ear, or a T-shirt. The command is specific to what type of garment God wants the tzitzit attached to. Four cornered garment. There is another law that states that God does not want men to alter their beards, as such, that law IMPLIES that God wants men to grow their beards, just as this law IMPLIES that a four cornered garment must be used for the tzizit.
The law is not specific on types of clothing to wear (just not mixed wool and linen)(unless you're a priest).
The law also does not say to wear beards, it says do not destroy the corners (a pagan ritual in the same vein as cutting yourself).
Freedom of clothing and beard styles are allowed according to torah. Four corners implies at least 4 tzitzit, but not necessarily a clothing style.
