| Named Executive Officers, Footnote [Text Block] | The amounts in column (b) are the amounts reported for our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Herrman, in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable fiscal year. The amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers (NEOs) as a group (excluding our CEO) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable fiscal year.

| Peer Group Issuers, Footnote [Text Block] | The amounts reported in column (f) represent cumulative TSR of the Company under SEC rules from January 31, 2020, the last trading day before the start of FY21, through the last trading day for the applicable fiscal year in the table, assuming reinvestment of dividends. The amounts reported in column (g) represent the peer group TSR under SEC rules from January 31, 2020, the last trading day before the start of FY21, through the last trading day for the applicable fiscal year in the table, assuming reinvestment of dividends and weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization. The peer group used for this purpose is the Dow Jones U.S. Apparel Retailers Index (DJUSRA), the same peer group used for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. For more information about the peer group used by the Compensation Committee as part of its decision-making process for FY23, refer to The Role of Our Peer Group in the CD&A. | | |

For more information, refer to Pension Benefits above. | | |
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] | CAP and Cumulative TSR: PEO CAP and average NEO CAP varied over the three years presented in the table, while our cumulative TSR increased over this same period. Although we did not use TSR as a financial performance measure within our incentive plans for the years presented in the table, long-term equity incentives under the SIP have been the largest component of total target compensation for our CEO and other NEOs for many years and the value of our long-term equity incentives is designed to align with our TSR performance during each applicable award period. | | |
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block] | CAP and Net Income : PEO CAP and average NEO CAP varied over the three years presented in the table, while our net income increased over this same period. Although net income is a profit measure with some similarities to Incentive Pre-tax Income and Incentive EPS, we did not use net income as a financial performance measure within our incentive plans for the years presented in the table. Accordingly, there is not a direct relationship between CAP and our net income. | | |
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block] | CAP and MIP Incentive Pre-tax Income : A portion of PEO CAP and average NEO CAP reflects payouts under our MIP for the applicable fiscal year, including amounts based on MIP Incentive Pre-tax Income for FY23 and FY22, as discussed in the CD&A and in our 2022 proxy statement. Although we used Incentive Pre-tax Income as the primary metric in our annual MIP program for FY23 and FY22, the primary driver of the variation in PEO CAP and average NEO CAP over the three years presented in the table was changes in equity award values under SEC rules as detailed above. We did not use Incentive Pre-tax Income in our annual MIP program for FY21 but instead established a temporary alternative framework in light of the uncertainty of the pandemic, as discussed in our 2021 proxy statement. | | |
| Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group [Text Block] | Cumulative TSR of the Company and Cumulative TSR of the Peer Index : For the periods presented in the table, both our cumulative TSR and the cumulative TSR of the Dow Jones U.S. Apparel Retailers Index (DJUSRA) were positive, with our TSR outperforming the TSR of the DJUSRA for each period shown. Although our Compensation Committee continues to monitor our relative TSR performance as discussed in the CD&A, we did not use our TSR performance versus the TSR performance of the DJUSRA as a financial performance measure within our incentive plans for the years presented in the table. For more information about the peer group used by the Compensation Committee as part of its decision-making process for FY23, refer to The Role of Our Peer Group in the CD&A. | | |

| PEO Name | Mr. Herrman | | |
| Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] | The amounts in column (c) and column (e) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Herrman, and the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to our other NEOs as a group, for each applicable fiscal year, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amount of “compensation actually paid” is determined under SEC rules and does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Herrman, or our NEOs as a group, for the applicable year. Refer to the CD&A for a discussion of the quantitative and qualitative factors considered by the Compensation Committee in making decisions with respect to compensation for our NEOs for FY23. The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of PSUs, RSUs, and Mr. Herrman’s career shares award include the stock price and accumulated dividends as of the applicable measuring date and, in the case of PSUs, the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the applicable measuring date (or actual performance results approved by the Compensation Committee as of the applicable vesting date). For the change in fair value of stock options during FY21, we used the Black-Scholes option pricing model with corresponding assumptions (risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, expected volatility factor, and expected option life) determined as of the applicable measuring date. Otherwise, the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those used in our disclosures of fair value as of the grant date.The amounts reported in column (h) represent net income of the Company reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year. The amounts reported in column (i) represent MIP Incentive Pre-tax Income: the adjusted pre-tax income performance results under our MIP for the applicable fiscal year or, in the case of FY21, an estimate of adjusted pre-tax income performance results under our MIP had the Compensation Committee established adjusted pre-tax income performance goals for FY21. The Company did not use Incentive Pre-tax Income in its annual MIP program for FY21 but instead established a temporary alternative framework in light of the uncertainty of the pandemic, as discussed in our 2021 proxy statement. MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income for FY22 and FY23 reflects the definitions and automatic adjustments pre-established by the Compensation Committee for the applicable fiscal year. Refer to Appendix A for information about how MIP Incentive Pre-tax Income was determined based on total segment profit reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each applicable fiscal year. While the Company uses various performance measures under its executive compensation program, Incentive Pre-tax Income is the primary metric in our annual incentive plan and the multi-year cumulative metric in our long-term cash program, and the Company has determined that MIP Incentive Pre-tax Income represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs to Company performance for FY23 under SEC rules. | | |
