Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include historical financial statements of, and transactions applicable to, the Company and reflect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has interests in an Emirati business venture and in a Kuwaiti business venture with Majid al Futtaim Fashion L.L.C. (“MAF”) and in a United States of America (the “U.S.”) business venture with Dixar L.L.C. (“Dixar”), each of which meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The purpose of the business ventures with MAF is to operate stores in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait and the purpose of the business venture with Dixar is to hold the intellectual property related to the Social Tourist brand. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs; therefore, the Company has consolidated the operating results, assets and liabilities of these VIEs, with the noncontrolling interests’ (“NCI”) portions of net income presented as net income attributable to NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and the NCI portion of stockholders’ equity presented as NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fiscal year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. This typically results in a fifty-two week year, but occasionally gives rise to an additional week, resulting in a fifty-three week year. Fiscal years are designated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes, as well as the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. All references herein to the Company’s fiscal years are as follows: Fiscal year Year ended/ ending Number of weeks Fiscal 2021 January 29, 2022 52 Fiscal 2022 January 28, 2023 52 Fiscal 2023 February 3, 2024 53 Interim financial statements The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of July 30, 2022, and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in A&F’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022 (the “Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K”). The January 29, 2022 consolidated balance sheet data, included herein, were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for Fiscal 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified Flagship store exit benefits into Stores and distribution expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. There were no changes to Operating (loss) income or Net (loss) income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ. The extent to which the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) continues to impact the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the duration, spread and emergence of new variants of the virus, the availability and acceptance of effective vaccines, boosters or medical treatments, the impact of COVID-19 on the length or frequency of store closures, and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts worldwide macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and governmental, business and consumer reactions to the pandemic. The Company’s assessment of these, as well as other factors, such as the impact of a slowing economy, rising interest rates and continued inflation, could impact management's estimates and result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. Recent accounting pronouncements The Company reviews recent accounting pronouncements on a quarterly basis and has excluded discussion of those not applicable to the Company and those that did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reconciliation The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and equivalents and restricted cash and equivalents to the amounts shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: (in thousands) Location July 30, 2022 January 29, 2022 July 31, 2021 January 30, 2021 Cash and equivalents Cash and equivalents $ 369,957 $ 823,139 $ 921,504 $ 1,104,862 Long-term restricted cash and equivalents Other assets 10,077 11,229 14,268 14,814 Short-term restricted cash and equivalents Other current assets — — 267 4,481 Cash and equivalents and restricted cash and equivalents $ 380,034 $ 834,368 $ 936,039 $ 1,124,157

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE	FAIR VALUE Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1—inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are available in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date. • Level 2—inputs are other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, directly or indirectly. • Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The three levels of the hierarchy and the distribution of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of July 30, 2022 and January 29, 2022, were as follows: Assets and liabilities at Fair Value as of July 30, 2022 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 37,389 $ 9,900 $ — $ 47,289 Derivative instruments (2) — 5,169 — 5,169 Rabbi Trust assets (3) 1 63,001 — 63,002 Restricted cash equivalents (1) 1,584 5,256 — 6,840 Total assets $ 38,974 $ 83,326 $ — $ 122,300 Liabilities: Derivative instruments (2) $ — $ 3 $ — $ 3 Total liabilities $ — $ 3 $ — $ 3 Assets at Fair Value as of January 29, 2022 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 49,309 $ 11,643 $ — $ 60,952 Derivative instruments (2) — 4,973 — 4,973 Rabbi Trust assets (3) 1 62,272 — 62,273 Restricted cash equivalents (1) 5,391 2,326 — 7,717 Total assets $ 54,701 $ 81,214 $ — $ 135,915 (1) Level 1 assets consisted of investments in money market funds and U.S. treasury bills. Level 2 assets consisted of time deposits. (2) Level 2 assets consisted primarily of foreign currency exchange forward contracts. (3) Level 1 assets consisted of investments in money market funds. Level 2 assets consisted of trust-owned life insurance policies. The Company’s Level 2 assets consisted of: • Trust-owned life insurance policies, which were valued using the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies; • Time deposits, which were valued at cost, approximating fair value, due to the short-term nature of these investments and derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were valued using quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments, adjusted for counterparty risk. Fair value of long-term borrowings The Company’s borrowings under its senior secured notes, which have a fixed 8.75% interest rate and mature on July 15, 2025 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) are carried at historical cost in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s long-term gross borrowings were as follows: (in thousands) July 30, 2022 January 29, 2022 Gross borrowings outstanding, carrying amount $ 307,730 $ 307,730 Gross borrowings outstanding, fair value 302,729 327,732

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the quarter. The Company’s quarterly provision and the estimate of the annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variation due to several factors. These factors include variability in the pre-tax jurisdictional mix of earnings, changes in how the Company does business including entering into new businesses or geographies, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in laws, regulations, interpretations and administrative practices, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized and the impact of discrete items. In addition, jurisdictions where the Company anticipates an ordinary loss for the fiscal year for which the Company does not anticipate future tax benefits are excluded from the overall computation of estimated annual effective tax rate and no tax benefits are recognized in the period related to losses in such jurisdictions. The impact of these items on the effective tax rate will be greater at lower levels of pre-tax earnings. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was enacted into U.S. law. The Company does not currently expect that the Inflation Reduction Act will have a material impact on its income taxes. Impact of valuation allowances and other tax charges During the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $26.4 million of pretax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $4.8 million. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $39.8 million of pre-tax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $7.2 million. As of July 30, 2022, there were approximately $12.1 million of net deferred tax assets in China. The realization of these net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the future generation of sufficient taxable profits in China. During the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, the company recorded a $0.2 million valuation allowance on net operating losses currently not projected to be utilized in future years. While the Company believes that the remaining net deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized, it is not a certainty, as the Company continues to evaluate and respond to emerging situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is closely monitoring its operations in China. Should circumstances change, the net deferred tax assets may become subject to additional valuation allowances in the future. Additional valuation allowances would result in additional tax expense. During the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, as a result of the improvement seen in business conditions, the Company recognized $23.5 million of discrete tax benefits due to the release of valuation allowances, primarily in the U.S. and Germany, and a discrete tax benefit of $3.9 million due to the impact of a statutory rate change in the U.K on the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company also recognized $6.7 million of tax benefits due to the anticipated utilization of deferred tax assets against projected pre-tax income for the full fiscal year, primarily in the U.S. and Germany based on information available, on which a valuation allowance had previously been established. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, as a result of the improvement seen in business conditions, the Company recognized $23.6 million of discrete tax benefits due to the release of valuation allowances, primarily in the U.S. and Germany, and a discrete tax benefit of $3.9 million due to the impact of a statutory rate change in the U.K on the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company also recognized $10.1 million of tax benefits related to the utilization of deferred tax assets against projected pre-tax income for the full fiscal year, primarily in the U.S. and Germany, based on information available, on which a valuation allowance had previously been established. The Company continues to maintain valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, principally Japan and Switzerland.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to manage the financial impacts of these exposures. The Company does not use forward contracts to engage in currency speculation and does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the foreign currency exchange rate exposure associated with forecasted foreign-currency-denominated intercompany inventory sales to foreign subsidiaries and the related settlement of the foreign-currency-denominated intercompany receivables. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will either increase or decrease the Company’s intercompany equivalent cash flows and affect the Company’s U.S. Dollar earnings. Gains or losses on the foreign currency exchange forward contracts that are used to hedge these exposures are expected to partially offset this variability. Foreign currency exchange forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed upon settlement date. These foreign currency exchange forward contracts typically have a maximum term of twelve months. The sale of the inventory to the Company’s customers will result in the reclassification of related derivative gains and losses that are reported in AOCL into earnings. The Company also uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge certain foreign-currency-denominated net monetary assets/liabilities. Examples of monetary assets/liabilities include cash balances, receivables and payables. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates result in transaction gains or losses being recorded in earnings, as U.S. GAAP requires that monetary assets/liabilities be remeasured at the spot exchange rate at quarter-end and upon settlement. The Company has chosen not to apply hedge accounting to these instruments because there are no anticipated differences in the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instruments and the hedged items. As of July 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding the following foreign currency exchange forward contracts that were entered into to hedge either a portion, or all, of forecasted foreign-currency-denominated intercompany inventory transactions, the resulting settlement of the foreign-currency-denominated intercompany accounts receivable, or both: (in thousands) Notional Amount (1) Euro $ 35,470 British pound 18,909 Canadian dollar 5,656 Japanese yen 4,383 (1) Amounts reported are the U.S. Dollar notional amounts outstanding as of July 30, 2022.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of consolidation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include historical financial statements of, and transactions applicable to, the Company and reflect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(“MAF”) and in a United States of America (the “U.S.”) business venture with Dixar L.L.C. (“Dixar”), each of which meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”).
