There are plenty of options on how to wear a vintage women's cardigan and as always it depends on the type of cardigan you're having. One of the ways of pairing a long cardigan is with a loose v-neck, crew neck top, or having it over a fitted dress. In a way, a cardigan is a light jacket that you can wear with pretty much anything. Cardigans are excellent for cozy home-wear and laid-back artsy look.
