History
JCPenney introduced Worthington in 1987 as part of a transition toward proprietary labels. It emerged during a period when increasing numbers of women entered the corporate workforce, creating a demand for mass-produced business formal wear. The brand became a staple of American department store retail, providing standardized suiting and separates. Its historical significance lies in its role in providing widespread access to professional attire for the middle-class workforce throughout the late twentieth century.
