Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1 Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the interim financial information of Caleres, Inc. ("the Company"). These statements, however, do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company’s business is seasonal in nature due to consumer spending patterns, with higher back-to-school and holiday season sales. Traditionally, the third fiscal quarter accounts for a substantial portion of the Company’s earnings for the year. Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net earnings attributable to Caleres, Inc. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2019 .

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2 Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The FASB has subsequently issued ASUs with improvements to the guidance, including ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , which provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new standard. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 ("ASC 842") in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and the optional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11. Upon adoption, the Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset of $729.2 million and lease liabilities of $791.7 million as of February 3, 2019. In addition, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $13.4 million , net of $4.7 million in deferred taxes, was recorded upon adoption. Prior period financial information in the condensed consolidated financial statements has not been adjusted and is presented under the guidance in ASC 840, Leases . The Company elected the package of practical expedients and the expedient to group lease and non-lease components as permitted within the ASU. The hindsight practical expedient was not elected. Refer to Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding ASC 842. Impact of Prospective Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces today's "incurred loss" model with an "expected credit loss" model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. The ASU's provisions will be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which it is adopted. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of the ASU in the first quarter of 2020 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . ASU 2018-13 modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, removing and modifying certain disclosures, while adding other disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20), Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . The guidance changes the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans, eliminating the requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requiring new disclosures that the FASB considers pertinent. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions	3 Months Ended
	May 04, 2019
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisition of Blowfish, LLC On July 6, 2018 , the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with Blowfish, LLC ("Blowfish", or " Blowfish Malibu "), pursuant to which the Company acquired a controlling interest in Blowfish. The noncontrolling interest is subject to a mandatory purchase obligation after a three-year period based upon an earnings multiple formula, as specified in the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price is estimated to be $28.0 million , including approximately $9.0 million assigned to the mandatory purchase obligation, which will be paid upon settlement in 2021 . The remaining $19.0 million (or $16.8 million , net of $2.2 million of cash received) was funded with cash. The estimate of the mandatory purchase obligation, which is recorded within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, is presented on a discounted basis and is subject to remeasurement based on the earnings formula specified in the Purchase Agreement. Accretion of the mandatory purchase obligation and any remeasurement adjustments will be recorded as interest expense. The operating results of Blowfish Malibu since July 6, 2018 have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements within the Brand Portfolio segment, with the elimination of sales and profit for sales to the Famous Footwear segment reflected in the Eliminations and Other category. Blowfish Malibu, which was founded in 2005, designs and sells women's and children's footwear that captures the fresh youthful spirit and casual living that is distinctively Southern California. The footwear is marketed under the "Blowfish" and Blowfish Malibu" tradenames. The acquisition allows for continued expansion of the Company's overall business and provides additional exposure to the growing sneaker and casual lifestyle segment of the market. The Company’s purchase price allocation contains uncertainties because it required management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments the Company used in estimating the fair values assigned to each class of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of its operations. Management estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows (Level 3 fair value measurements). Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy of the Company’s fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies. As of May 4, 2019, the purchase price allocation is complete. During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 , Blowfish Malibu contributed net sales of $19.3 million to the Brand Portfolio segment ( $16.2 million on a consolidated basis, net of eliminations), and net earnings of $0.6 million . Acquisition of Vionic On October 18, 2018 , the Company entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the equity holders of Vionic Group LLC and Vionic International LLC, and VCG Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (collectively, " Vionic "), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Vionic Group LLC and Vionic International LLC and certain related intellectual property from VCG Holdings Ltd for $360.0 million plus adjustments for cash and indebtedness, as defined in the Agreement. The aggregate purchase price was $360.7 million (or $352.7 million , net of $8.0 million of cash received). The purchase was funded with borrowings from the Company's revolving credit agreement. The operating results of Vionic since October 18, 2018 have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements within the Brand Portfolio segment, with the elimination of sales and profit for sales to the Famous Footwear segment reflected in the Eliminations and Other category. Vionic, which was founded in 1979, brings together style and science, combining innovative biomechanics with the most coveted trends. As pioneers in foot health with a global team of experts behind the dual gender brand, Vionic brings a fresh perspective to stylish, supportive footwear, offering a vast selection of active, casual and dress styles, sandals and slippers. The acquisition of Vionic allows the Company to continue to expand its portfolio of brands and gives it additional access to the growing contemporary comfort footwear category. The Brand Portfolio segment recognized $5.8 million ( $4.3 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.10 per diluted share) in incremental cost of goods sold in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting. In addition, the Company incurred integration-related costs of $0.3 million ( $0.2 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.01 per diluted share) in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, which were recorded as a component of restructuring and other special charges, net. Of the $0.3 million , $0.2 million is presented within the Eliminations and Other category and $0.1 million is presented in the Brand Portfolio segment. Vionic contributed net sales of $54.8 million to the Brand Portfolio segment ( $53.1 million on a consolidated basis, net of eliminations), and reported a net loss of approximately $1.3 million , primarily associated with the incremental cost of goods sold of $5.8 million related to the amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment required for purchase accounting. The net loss excludes the incremental interest expense associated with the acquisition. Purchase Price Allocation The assets and liabilities of Vionic were recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The Company has allocated the purchase price as of the acquisition date, October 18, 2018, as follows: ($ thousands) October 18, 2018 ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,024 Receivables 32,319 Inventories 58,740 Prepaid expense and other current assets 3,618 Total current assets 102,701 Goodwill 150,413 Intangible assets 144,700 Property and equipment 6,864 Total assets $ 404,678 LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Current liabilities: Trade accounts payable $ 19,679 Other accrued expenses 20,768 Total current liabilities 40,447 Other liabilities 3,541 Total liabilities 43,988 Net assets $ 360,690 The allocation of the purchase price is based on certain preliminary valuations and analyses. Any subsequent changes in the estimated fair values assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analyses within the measurement period will change the allocation of the purchase price and will be adjusted during the period in which the amounts are determined. The Company’s purchase price allocation required management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments the Company used in estimating the fair values assigned to each class of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of its operations. Management estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows (Level 3 fair value measurements). Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy of the Company’s fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies. A third-party valuation specialist assisted the Company with its preliminary fair value estimates for inventory and intangible assets other than goodwill. The Company used all available information to make its best estimate of fair values at the acquisition date. The Company continues to evaluate certain contingent liabilities, but the purchase price allocation is substantially complete as of May 4, 2019. Goodwill and intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recognized, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and an assembled workforce. Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.

Revenues

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenues	Note 4 Revenues Accounting Policy Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the consumer are satisfied. This generally occurs at the time of transfer of control of merchandise. The Company considers several control indicators in its assessment of the timing of the transfer of control, including significant risks and rewards of ownership, physical possession and the Company's right to receive payment. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring merchandise. The Company excludes sales and similar taxes collected from customers from the measurement of the transaction price for its retail sales. Disaggregation of Revenues The following table disaggregates revenue by segment and major source for the periods ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018: Thirteen Weeks Ended May 4, 2019 ($ thousands) Famous Footwear Brand Portfolio Eliminations and Other Total Retail stores $ 320,242 $ 36,650 $ — $ 356,892 Landed wholesale — 233,370 (15,461 ) 217,909 First-cost wholesale — 14,771 — 14,771 E-commerce 31,781 53,046 — 84,827 Licensing and royalty — 3,132 — 3,132 Other (1) 142 81 — 223 Net sales $ 352,165 $ 341,050 $ (15,461 ) $ 677,754 Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 2018 ($ thousands) Famous Footwear Brand Portfolio Eliminations and Other Total Retail stores $ 338,256 $ 42,784 $ — $ 381,040 Landed wholesale — 182,576 (14,766 ) 167,810 First-cost wholesale — 13,405 — 13,405 E-commerce 25,014 40,950 — 65,964 Licensing and royalty — 3,712 — 3,712 Other (1) 141 70 — 211 Net sales $ 363,411 $ 283,497 $ (14,766 ) $ 632,142 (1) Includes breakage revenue from unredeemed gift cards Retail stores The majority of the Company's revenue is generated from retail sales where control is transferred and revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Retail sales are recorded net of estimated returns and exclude sales tax. The Company carries a returns reserve and a corresponding return asset for expected returns of merchandise. Retail sales to members of the Company's loyalty programs, including the Famously You Rewards program, include two performance obligations: the sale of merchandise and the delivery of points that may be redeemed for future purchases. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price for the points is estimated using the retail value of the merchandise earned, adjusted for estimated breakage based upon historical redemption patterns. The revenue associated with the initial merchandise purchased is recognized immediately and the value assigned to the points is deferred until the points are redeemed, forfeited or expired. Landed wholesale Landed sales are wholesale sales in which the merchandise is shipped directly to the customer from the Company’s warehouses. Many landed customers arrange their own transportation of merchandise and, with limited exceptions, control is transferred at the time of shipment. First-cost wholesale First-cost sales are wholesale sales in which the Company purchases merchandise from an international factory that manufactures the product. Revenue is recognized at the time the merchandise is delivered to the customer’s designated freight forwarder and control is transferred to the customer. E-commerce The Company also generates revenue from sales on websites maintained by the Company that are shipped from the Company's distribution centers or retail stores directly to the consumer, picked up directly by the consumer from the Company's stores and e-commerce sales from our wholesale customers' websites that are fulfilled on a drop-ship basis (collectively referred to as "e-commerce"). The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue for merchandise sold that is shipped directly to an individual consumer upon delivery to the consumer. Licensing and royalty The Company has license agreements with third parties allowing them to sell the Company’s branded product, or other merchandise that uses the Company’s owned or licensed brand names. These license agreements provide the licensee access to the Company's symbolic intellectual property, and revenue is therefore recognized over the license term. For royalty contracts that do not have guaranteed minimums, the Company recognizes revenue as the licensee's sales occur. For royalty contracts that have guaranteed minimums, revenue for the guaranteed minimum is recognized on a straight-line basis during the term, until such time that the cumulative royalties exceed the total minimum guarantee. Up-front payments are recognized over the contractual term to which the guaranteed minimum relates. Contract Balances Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration for which reserves are established, including returns, allowances and discounts. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected value method and given the large number of contracts with similar characteristics, the portfolio approach is applied to determine the variable consideration for each revenue stream. Reserves for projected returns are based on historical patterns and current expectations. Information about significant contract balances from contracts with customers is as follows: ($ thousands) May 4, 2019 May 5, 2018 February 2, 2019 Customer allowances and discounts $ 20,063 $ 19,416 $ 25,090 Loyalty programs liability 15,700 14,920 14,637 Returns reserve 16,621 12,606 13,841 Gift card liability 4,944 4,661 5,426 Changes in contract balances with customers generally reflect differences in relative sales volume for the periods presented.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 10 Leases The Company leases all of its retail locations, a manufacturing facility, and certain office locations, distribution centers and equipment. At contract inception, leases are evaluated and classified as either operating or finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company's leases that are classified as operating leases have lease terms and renewal options as follows: Lease Term Renewal Options Retail stores 5-10 years Approximately 45% have options of varying periods Manufacturing facility 8 years None Office facilities and distribution centers 10-15 years 5-20 years Equipment 1 - 6 years None As further discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior period financial information in the condensed consolidated financial statements has not been adjusted and is presented in compliance with ASC 840. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and the expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for the entire population of operating lease assets. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to reevaluate the lease term of existing contracts. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate and therefore, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. The following is a summary of lease assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 4, 2019: ($ thousands) May 4, 2019 Lease Classification Lease right-of-use assets $ 735,282 Current lease obligations (136,005 ) Noncurrent lease obligations (662,750 ) Net balance sheet impact $ (63,473 ) The weighted-average lease term and discount rate as of May 4, 2019 were as follows: May 4, 2019 Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 7.1 Weighted-average discount rate 4.1 % As of May 4, 2019, the Company has entered into lease commitments for seven retail locations for which the leases have not yet commenced.

Upon commencement, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $4.1 million will be recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Leases for two retail locations are expected to begin in the next fiscal year, resulting in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $2.9 million .

Debt, Long-term and Short-term, Combined Amount [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	Credit Agreement The Company maintains a revolving credit facility for working capital needs. On December 18, 2014 , the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("the Former Credit Agreement"), which was further amended on July 20, 2015 to release all of the Company’s subsidiaries that were borrowers under or that guaranteed the Former Credit Agreement other than Sidney Rich Associates, Inc. and BG Retail, LLC. Allen Edmonds and Vionic were joined to the Agreement as guarantors on December 13, 2016 and October 31, 2018 , respectively. After giving effect to the joinders, the Company is the lead borrower, and Sidney Rich Associates, Inc., BG Retail, LLC, Allen Edmonds and Vionic are each co-borrowers and guarantors under the Former Credit Agreement. On January 18, 2019 , the Loan Parties entered into a Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as so amended, the "Credit Agreement") to extend the maturity date to January 18, 2024 and change the borrowing capacity under the Former Credit Agreement from an aggregate amount of up to $600.0 million to an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million , with the option to increase by up to $250.0 million . The Credit Amendment also reduces upfront and unused borrowing fees, provides for less restrictive covenants and offers more flexibility. Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited to the lesser of the total commitments and the borrowing base ("Loan Cap"), which is based on stated percentages of the sum of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible credit card receivables, as defined, less applicable reserves. Under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties’ obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral. Interest on borrowings is at variable rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a spread. The interest rate and fees for letters of credit vary based upon the level of excess availability under the Credit Agreement. There is an unused line fee payable on the unused portion under the facility and a letter of credit fee payable on the outstanding face amount under letters of credit. The Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to create, incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness and liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. In addition, certain additional covenants would be triggered if excess availability were to fall below specified levels, including fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below the greater of 10.0% of the lesser of the Loan Cap and $40.0 million for three consecutive business days or an event of default occurs, the collateral agent may assume dominion and control over the Company’s cash (a “cash dominion event”) until such event of default is cured or waived or the excess availability exceeds such amount for 30 consecutive days, provided that a cash dominion event shall be deemed continuing (even if an event of default is no longer continuing and/or excess availability exceeds the required amount for 30 consecutive business days) after a cash dominion event has occurred and been discontinued on two occasions in any 12-month period. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to similar obligations, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults and the failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the agreement to be in full force and effect. In addition, if the excess availability falls below the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of the Loan Cap and (ii) $40.0 million , and the fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0 , the Company would be in default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain other covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of May 4, 2019 . At May 4, 2019 , the Company had $318.0 million borrowings outstanding and $10.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total additional borrowing availability was $171.5 million at May 4, 2019 . $200 Million Senior Notes On July 27, 2015 , the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company's subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2023 . The Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest (as defined in the Senior Notes indenture), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below: Year Percentage 2019 103.125 % 2020 101.563 % 2021 and thereafter 100.000 % If the Company experiences specific kinds of changes of control, it would be required to offer to purchase the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase. The Senior Notes also contain certain other covenants and restrictions that limit certain activities including, among other things, levels of indebtedness, payments of dividends, the guarantee or pledge of assets, certain investments, common stock repurchases, mergers and acquisitions and sales of assets. As of May 4, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions relating to the Senior Notes.

The RSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends on the Company's common stock. The dividend equivalents, which vest immediately, are automatically re-invested in additional RSUs. Expense related to the initial grant of RSUs is recognized ratably over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the RSUs. The RSUs payable in cash are remeasured at the end of each period. Expense for the dividend equivalents is recognized at fair value when the dividend equivalents are granted. The Company granted 1,114 and 781 RSUs for dividend equivalents during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 , respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $25.08 and $33.10 , respectively.

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]
Risk Management And Derivatives	Note 15 Risk Management and Derivatives In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial results are impacted by currency rate movements in foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows as it makes a portion of its purchases and sales in local currencies. The Company has established policies and business practices that are intended to mitigate a portion of the effect of these exposures. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts, to manage its currency exposures. These derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives entered into by the Company are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit and market risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions being hedged. The Company does not believe there is a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with major international financial institutions and have varying maturities through May 2020 . Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties. The Company’s hedging strategy uses forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments, which are recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. As of May 4, 2019 , May 5, 2018 and February 2, 2019 , the Company had forward contracts maturing at various dates through May 2020 , May 2019 and January 2020 , respectively. The contract amounts in the following table represent the net notional amount of all purchase and sale contracts of a foreign currency.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 16 Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value measurement disclosure requirements specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (“observable inputs”) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (“unobservable inputs”). In accordance with the fair value guidance, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; • Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. In determining fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Classification of the financial or non-financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Measurement of Fair Value The Company measures fair value as an exit price, the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, using the procedures described below for all financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Money Market Funds The Company has cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds backed by U.S. Treasury securities. The primary objective of these investing activities is to preserve the Company’s capital for the purpose of funding operations and it does not enter into money market funds for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for the benefit of certain management employees. The investment funds offered to the participants generally correspond to the funds offered in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits the deferral of up to 50% of base salary and 100% of compensation received under the Company’s annual incentive plan. The deferrals are held in a separate trust, which has been established by the Company to administer the Deferred Compensation Plan. The assets of the trust are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. Consequently, the trust qualifies as a grantor trust for income tax purposes (i.e., a “Rabbi Trust”). The liabilities of the Deferred Compensation Plan are presented in other accrued expenses and the assets held by the trust are classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are charged to selling and administrative expenses. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors Non-employee directors are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan with deferred amounts valued as if invested in the Company’s common stock through the use of phantom stock units (“PSUs”). Under the plan, each participating director’s account is credited with the number of PSUs equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that the participant could purchase or receive with the amount of the deferred compensation, based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter when the cash compensation was earned. Dividend equivalents are paid on PSUs at the same rate as dividends on the Company’s common stock and are re-invested in additional PSUs at the next fiscal quarter-end. The liabilities of the plan are based on the fair value of the outstanding PSUs and are presented in other accrued expenses (current portion) or other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the PSUs are presented in selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The fair value of each PSU is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1). Restricted Stock Units for Non-Employee Directors Under the Company’s incentive compensation plans, cash-equivalent restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company were previously granted at no cost to non-employee directors. These cash-equivalent RSUs are subject to a vesting requirement (usually one year), earn dividend-equivalent units, and are settled in cash on the date the director terminates service or such earlier date as a director may elect, subject to restrictions, based on the then current fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of each cash-equivalent RSU is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency on each measurement date (Level 1). Additional information related to RSUs for non-employee directors is disclosed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using quoted forward foreign exchange prices from counterparties corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). Additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments is disclosed in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Mandatory Purchase Obligation The Company recorded a mandatory purchase obligation of the noncontrolling interest in conjunction with the acquisition of Blowfish Malibu in July of 2018. The fair value of the mandatory purchase obligation is based on the earnings formula specified in the Purchase Agreement (Level 3). Accretion of the mandatory purchase obligation and any fair value adjustments are recorded as interest expense. During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 , accretion of $0.1 million was recorded. The earnings projections and discount rate utilized in the estimate of the fair value of the mandatory purchase obligation require management judgment and are the assumptions to which the fair value calculation is the most sensitive. Refer to further discussion of the mandatory purchase obligation in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at May 4, 2019 , May 5, 2018 and February 2, 2019 . The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 or May 5, 2018.

Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, a significant change in the manner of the use of the asset, or a negative industry or economic trend. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the aforementioned factors, impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method. Certain factors, such as estimated store sales and expenses, used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . Long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $685.0 million and $105.4 million at May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 , respectively, were assessed for indicators of impairment and written down to their fair value. This assessment resulted in the following impairment charges, primarily for leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures in the Company's retail stores and operating lease right-of-use assets, which were included in selling and administrative expenses for the respective periods.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 17 Income Taxes The Company’s consolidated effective tax rates were 25.2% and 23.1% for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 , respectively. The Company's effective tax rate was impacted by a discrete tax provision of $0.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 related to share-based compensation, compared to discrete tax benefits of $0.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018. If these discrete taxes had not been recognized during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, the Company's effective tax rate would have been 24.3% and 25.4% , respectively. As of May 4, 2019, no deferred taxes have been provided on the accumulated unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are not subject to United States income tax, beyond the amounts recorded for the one-time transition tax for the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings, as required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company periodically evaluates its foreign investment opportunities and plans, as well as its foreign working capital needs, to determine the level of investment required and, accordingly, determines the level of foreign earnings that is considered indefinitely reinvested. Based upon that evaluation, earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are not otherwise subject to United States taxation are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, deferred taxes have not been provided. If changes occur in future investment opportunities and plans, those changes will be reflected when known and may result in providing residual United States deferred taxes on unremitted foreign earnings. Due to the complexity of the hypothetical calculation, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with these unremitted foreign earnings.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Note 18 Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Remediation Prior operations included numerous manufacturing and other facilities for which the Company may have responsibility under various environmental laws for the remediation of conditions that may be identified in the future. The Company is involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites and has been notified that it is or may be a potentially responsible party at several other sites. Redfield The Company is remediating, under the oversight of Colorado authorities, the groundwater and indoor air at its owned facility in Colorado (the “Redfield site” or, when referring to remediation activities at or under the facility, the “on-site remediation”) and residential neighborhoods adjacent to and near the property (the “off-site remediation”) that have been affected by solvents previously used at the facility. The on-site remediation calls for the operation of a pump and treat system (which prevents migration of contaminated groundwater off the property) as the final remedy for the site, subject to monitoring and periodic review of the on-site conditions and other remedial technologies that may be developed in the future. In 2016, the Company submitted a revised plan to address on-site conditions, including direct treatment of source areas, and received approval from the oversight authorities to begin implementing the revised plan. As the treatment of the on-site source areas progresses, the Company expects to convert the pump and treat system to a passive treatment barrier system. Off-site groundwater concentrations have been reducing over time since installation of the pump and treat system in 2000 and injection of clean water beginning in 2003. However, localized areas of contaminated bedrock just beyond the property line continue to impact off-site groundwater. The modified work plan for addressing this condition includes converting the off-site bioremediation system into a monitoring well network and employing different remediation methods in these recalcitrant areas. In accordance with the work plan, a pilot test was conducted of certain groundwater remediation methods and the results of that test were used to develop more detailed plans for remedial activities in the off-site areas, which were approved by the authorities and are being implemented in a phased manner. The results of groundwater monitoring are being used to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities. The Company continues to implement the expanded remedy work plan that was approved by the oversight authorities in 2015. Based on the progress of the direct remedial action of on-site conditions, the Company has submitted a request to the oversight authorities for permission to convert the perimeter pump and treat active remediation system to a passive one. The cumulative expenditures for both on-site and off-site remediation through May 4, 2019 were $30.6 million . The Company has recovered a portion of these expenditures from insurers and other third parties. The reserve for the anticipated future remediation activities at May 4, 2019 is $9.7 million , of which $9.0 million is recorded within other liabilities and $0.7 million is recorded within other accrued expenses. Of the total $ 9.7 million reserve, $5.1 million is for off-site remediation and $4.6 million is for on-site remediation. The liability for the on-site remediation was discounted at 4.8% . On an undiscounted basis, the on-site remediation liability would be $14.0 million as of May 4, 2019 . The Company expects to spend approximately $ 0.5 million in the next fiscal year, $0.1 million in each of the following four years and $13.1 million in the aggregate thereafter related to the on-site remediation. Other Various federal and state authorities have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediation at certain other sites. However, the Company does not currently believe that its liability for such sites, if any, would be material. The Company continues to evaluate its remediation plans in conjunction with its environmental consultants and records its best estimate of remediation liabilities. However, future actions and the associated costs are subject to oversight and approval of various governmental authorities. Accordingly, the ultimate costs may vary, and it is possible costs may exceed the recorded amounts. Litigation The Company is involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such ordinary course of business proceedings and litigation currently pending is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Legal costs associated with litigation are generally expensed as incurred.
