Nature of Business [Abstract]
Nature of Business	NATURE OF BUSINESS Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (“A&F”), a company incorporated in Delaware in 1996, through its subsidiaries (collectively, A&F and its subsidiaries are referred to as the “Company”), is a global, digitally-led omnichannel retailer. The Company offers a broad assortment of apparel, personal care products and accessories for men, women and kids, which are sold primarily through its Company-owned stores and digital channels, as well as through various third-party arrangements. The Company manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting of three reportable segments: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income.

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 Emirati and Kuwaiti business ventures 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 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 2023 February 3, 2024 53 Fiscal 2024 February 1, 2025 52 Fiscal 2025 January 31, 2026 52 Interim financial statements The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 4, 2024, and for the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023, 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 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K”). The February 3, 2024 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 2024. 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. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty regarding a slowing economy, rising interest rates, continued inflation, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine or Israel and Hamas which could 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. The following table provides a brief description of certain accounting pronouncements that the company has adopted. Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Description Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures The update modifies the disclosure/presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss, The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. For public business entities (PBEs), the requirement will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Other than the new disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance will not have a significant 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 May 4, 2024 February 3, 2024 April 29, 2023 January 28, 2023 Cash and equivalents Cash and equivalents $ 864,195 $ 900,884 $ 446,952 $ 517,602 Long-term restricted cash and equivalents Other assets 7,807 8,801 9,712 9,967 Cash and equivalents and restricted cash and equivalents $ 872,001 $ 909,685 $ 456,664 $ 527,569 Supply Chain 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 typically 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 May 4, 2024 and February 3, 2024, $58.0 million and $72.4 million of SCF program liabilities were recorded in accounts payable The following table provides activity in the SCF program for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 Thirteen Weeks Ended (in thousands) May 4, 2024 Confirmed obligations outstanding at the beginning of the period $ 72,376 Invoices confirmed during the period 75,468 Confirmed invoices paid during the period (89,816) Confirmed obligations outstanding at the end of the period $ 58,028

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 following table provides the three levels of the hierarchy and the distribution of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of May 4, 2024 and February 3, 2024: Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value as of May 4, 2024 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 302,285 $ 17,912 $ — $ 320,197 Derivative instruments (2) — 1,613 — 1,613 Rabbi Trust assets (3) 1,164 52,863 — 54,027 Restricted cash equivalents (1) 3,285 1,441 — 4,726 Total assets $ 306,734 $ 73,829 $ — $ 380,563 Liabilities: Derivative instruments (2) $ — $ 117 $ — $ 117 Total liabilities $ — $ 117 $ — $ 117 Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value as of February 3, 2024 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 349,174 $ 26,975 $ — $ 376,149 Derivative instruments (2) — 1,092 — 1,092 Rabbi Trust assets (3) 1,164 52,521 — 53,685 Restricted cash equivalents (1) 4,282 1,420 — 5,702 Total assets $ 354,620 $ 82,008 $ — $ 436,628 Liabilities: Derivative instruments (2) $ — $ 539 $ — $ 539 Total liabilities $ — $ 539 $ — $ 539 (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 and liabilities 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 and liabilities 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 following table provides the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s long-term gross borrowings as of May 4, 2024 and February 3, 2024: (in thousands) May 4, 2024 February 3, 2024 Gross borrowings outstanding, carrying amount $ 213,906 $ 223,214 Gross borrowings outstanding, fair value (1) 215,510 226,004 (1) Classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

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 During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $7.6 million of pretax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $1.1 million. As of May 4, 2024, the Company had foreign net deferred tax assets of approximately $38.3 million, including $8.1 million, $7.4 million, and $12.7 million in China, Japan and the 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 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 February 3, 2024, there were approximately $7.6 million, $7.5 million, and $12.6 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 May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023.

As of May 4, 2024, availability under the ABL Facility was $325.2 million, net of $0.4 million in outstanding stand-by letters of credit. As the Company must maintain excess availability equal to the greater of 10% of the loan cap or $30 million under the ABL Facility, borrowing capacity available to the Company under the ABL Facility was $292.7 million as of May 4, 2024. Representations, warranties and covenants The agreements related to the Senior Secured Notes and the ABL Facility contain various representations, warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to specified exceptions, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: grant or incur liens; incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; make investments in certain subsidiaries; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; change the nature of their business; and consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of the assets of the Company or Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co.

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 May 4, 2024, 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 transactions: (in thousands) Notional Amount (1) Euro $ 46,741 British pound 43,758 Canadian dollar 16,150 (1) Amounts reported are the U.S. Dollar notional amounts outstanding as of May 4, 2024. As of May 4, 2024, foreign currency exchange forward contracts that were entered into to hedge foreign-currency-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities were as follows: (in thousands) Notional Amount (1) British pound $ 12,325 Euro 21,307 (1) Amounts reported are the U.S. Dollar notional amounts outstanding as of May 4, 2024. The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments, adjusted for counterparty risk.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING	SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s reportable segments are based on the financial information the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to allocate resources and assess performance of its business. The Company manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting of three reportable segments: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income. The Americas reportable segment includes the results of operations in North America and South America. The EMEA reportable segment includes the results of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The APAC reportable segment includes the results of operations in the Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. All prior periods presented are recast to conform to the new segment presentation. The group comprised of the Company’s (i) Chief Executive Officer and (ii) Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer functions as the Company’s CODM. The Company’s CODM manages business operations and evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and operating income (loss) of the segment. Net sales by segment are presented by attributing revenues on the basis of the segment that fulfills the order. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributed to the segment. Corporate/other expenses include expenses incurred that are not directly attributed to a reportable segment and primarily relate to corporate or global functions such as design, sourcing, brand management, corporate strategy, information technology, finance, treasury, legal, human resources, and other corporate support services, as well as certain globally managed components of the planning, merchandising, and marketing functions. The Company reports inventories by segment as that information is used by the CODM in determining allocation of resources to the segments. The Company does not report its other assets by segment as that information is not used by the CODM in assessing segment performance or allocating resources. The following tables provide the Company’s segment information as of May 4, 2024 and February 3, 2024, and for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023: Net Sales Thirteen Weeks Ended (in thousands) May 4, 2024 April 29, 2023 Americas $ 820,121 $ 665,423 EMEA 164,778 138,106 APAC 35,831 32,465 Segment total $ 1,020,730 $ 835,994 Operating Income (Loss) Thirteen Weeks Ended (in thousands) May 4, 2024 April 29, 2023 Americas $ 252,347 $ 156,445 EMEA 24,501 (1,485) APAC (322) (2,547) Segment total $ 276,526 $ 152,413 Operating (loss) income not attributed to segments: Stores and distribution expense (3,371) (1,889) Marketing, general and administrative expense (145,264) (119,405) Other operating income,net 1,958 2,889 Total operating income $ 129,849 $ 34,008 Assets (in thousands) May 4, 2024 February 3, 2024 Inventories Americas $ 361,061 $ 372,371 EMEA 70,829 77,125 APAC 17,377 19,970 Total inventories $ 449,267 $ 469,466 Assets not attributed to segments 2,520,818 2,504,767 Total assets $ 2,970,085 $ 2,974,233 Brand Information The following table provides additional disaggregated revenue information, which is categorized by brand, for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023: Thirteen Weeks Ended (in thousands) May 4, 2024 April 29, 2023 Abercrombie (1) $ 571,513 $ 436,044 Hollister (2) 449,217 399,950 Total $ 1,020,730 $ 835,994

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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. The Company has interests in Emirati and Kuwaiti business ventures 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 Income and the NCI portion of stockholders’ equity presented as NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Segment Reporting, Disclosure of Other Information about Entity's Reportable Segments [Abstract]
Segment Reporting, Factors Used to Identify Entity's Reportable Segments	The Company manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting of three reportable segments: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income. The Americas reportable segment includes the results of operations in North America and South America. The EMEA reportable segment includes the results of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The APAC reportable segment includes the results of operations in the Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.
Description of Effect on Previously Reported Segment Information for Change in Composition of Reportable Segments	All prior periods presented are recast to conform to the new segment presentation.
