What does "Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve" mean?
Hello Miss! My little one came home saying something about 'wearing your heart on your sleeve.' Can you explain that phrase to me? It sounds like something sweet they might've picked up in class!

Hi there, Yui Suzuki.


When you “wear your heart on your sleeve” it means that you show your emotions and feelings clearly to other people. 


It may be treated as a good trait or a bad trait depending on the situation. 


People may say, “It’s clear that he wants to buy that guitar. That guy wears his heart on his sleeve and can’t stop looking at that display."


Your daughter might have commented that because she can easily know when you're happy, angry, or worried because you wear your heart on your sleeve.
