Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Supply Chain Finance Program On January 29, 2023, the Company adopted the changes to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) described in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs and requires certain disclosures for a buyer in a supplier finance program. Under the supply chain finance (“SCF”) program, which is administered by a third party, the Company’s vendors, at their sole discretion, are given the opportunity to sell receivables from the Company to a participating financial institution at a discount that leverages the Company’s credit profile. The commercial terms negotiated by the Company with its vendors are consistent, irrespective of whether a vendor participates in the SCF program. A participating vendor has the option to be paid by the financial institution earlier than the original invoice due date. The Company’s responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated by the Company with each vendor, regardless of whether the vendor sells its receivable to a financial institution. If a vendor chooses to participate in the SCF program, the Company pays the financial institution the stated amount of confirmed merchandise invoices on the stated maturity date, which is 75 days from the invoice date. The agreement with the financial institution does not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the SCF program. As of April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, $58.1 million and $68.4 million of SCF program liabilities were recorded in “Accounts payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively, and reflected as a cash flow from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when settled.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Interim financial statements The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of April 29, 2023, and for the thirteen week periods ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022, 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 2022 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2023 (the “Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K”). The January 28, 2023 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 2023.

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 April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, were as follows: Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value as of April 29, 2023 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 52,383 $ 9,900 $ — $ 62,283 Derivative instruments (2) — 7 — 7 Rabbi Trust assets (3) 1 52,014 — 52,015 Restricted cash equivalents (1) 1,373 5,191 — 6,564 Total assets $ 53,757 $ 67,112 $ — $ 120,869 Liabilities: Derivative instruments (2) $ — $ 4,139 $ — $ 4,139 Total liabilities $ — $ 4,139 $ — $ 4,139 Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value as of January 28, 2023 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 50,364 $ — $ — $ 50,364 Derivative instruments (2) — 32 — 32 Rabbi Trust assets (3) 1 51,681 — 51,682 Restricted cash equivalents (1) 1,690 5,174 — 6,864 Total assets $ 52,055 $ 56,887 $ — $ 108,942 Liabilities: Derivative instruments (2) $ — $ 4,986 $ — $ 4,986 Total liabilities $ — $ 4,986 $ — $ 4,986 (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.

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. Impact of valuation allowances and other tax charges During the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $20.3 million of pretax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $3.1 million. As of April 29, 2023, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $9.8 million, $8.5 million, and $15.4 million in China, Japan and United Kingdom, respectively. While the Company believes that these 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. 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 April 30, 2022, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $13.4 million of pretax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $2.4 million. As of April 30, 2022, there were approximately $11.4 million, $10.4 million, and $17.9 million of net deferred tax assets in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, respectively. Share-based compensation Refer to Note 11, “ SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION ,” for details on income tax benefits and charges related to share-based compensation awards during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

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 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 April 29, 2023, 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 $ 83,749 British pound 61,030 Canadian dollar — Japanese yen — (1) Amounts reported are the U.S. Dollar notional amounts outstanding as of April 29, 2023.
