	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
	Business Description
	Express, Inc., together with its subsidiaries ("Express" or the "Company"), is a specialty apparel and accessories retailer of women's and men's merchandise, targeting the 20 to 30 year old customer. Express merchandise is sold through retail and factory outlet stores and the Company's website, www.express.com. As of May 3, 2014, Express operated 611 primarily mall-based retail stores in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico as well as 17 factory outlet stores. Additionally, the Company earned revenue from 26 franchise stores in the Middle East and Latin America. These franchise stores are operated by franchisees pursuant to franchise agreements. Under the franchise agreements, the franchisees operate stores that sell Express-branded apparel and accessories purchased directly from the Company.
	Fiscal Year
	The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal years are referred to by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References herein to "2014" and "2013" represent the 52-week period ended January 31, 2015 and the 52-week period ended February 1, 2014, respectively. All references herein to “the first quarter of 2014” and “the first quarter of 2013” represent the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013, respectively.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to state fairly 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 2014. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended February 1, 2014, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2014.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Express, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
	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 at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
	Reclassifications and Revisions
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or revised to conform to the current period presentation. This includes a revision to reclassify sell-off revenue from "Cost of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy Costs" to "Net Sales" in the amount of$0.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013. This revision did not impact the Company's reported gross profit, net earnings, earnings per share, or cash flows for the prior period. The Company has assessed the related error and concluded that it was was not material to the Company's previously issued interim consolidated financial statements.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,  ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. We are evaluating the new standard, but do not, at this time, anticipate a material impact to the financial statements once implemented.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Company defines an operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally. The Company has determined that, together, its Chief Executive Officer, President, and its Chief Operating Officer are the Chief Operating Decision Maker and that there is one operating segment. Therefore, the Company reports results as a single segment, which includes the operation of its Express brick-and-mortar retail and outlet stores, e-commerce operations, and franchise operations.
	The following is information regarding the Company's major product categories and sales channels:
		Thirteen Weeks Ended
		May 3, 2014		May 4, 2013
		(in thousands)
	Apparel	$	402,884	$	445,214
	Accessories and other	49,805		56,065
	Other revenue	7,963		8,083
	Total net sales	$	460,652	$	509,362

	Other revenue	7,963		8,083
	Total net sales	$	460,652	$	509,362
	Other revenue consists primarily of shipping and handling revenue related to e-commerce activity, revenue from franchise agreements, sell-off revenue, and gift card breakage.
	Revenue and long-lived assets relating to the Company's international operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013, respectively, were not material for any period presented and, therefore, are not reported separately from domestic revenue or long-lived assets.

	Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock	419	395
	Weighted-average shares - diluted	84,424	85,490
	Equity awards representing 3.8 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014, as the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive. Equity awards representing 2.8 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013, as the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive.
	Additionally, for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013, respectively, there were 0.5 million shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares because the number of shares that will ultimately be issued is contingent on the Company's performance compared to pre-established annual performance goals.

	Fair Value of Financial Assets
	Fair value is defined as 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date.
	Level 1-Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2-Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3-Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
	The following table presents the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 3, 2014 and February 1, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.
		May 3, 2014

Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. The Company's effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of factors including changes in the Company's assessment of certain tax contingencies, valuation allowances, changes in tax law, outcomes of administrative audits, the impact of discrete items, and the mix of earnings.
	The Company's effective tax rate was 44.3% and 39.6% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013, respectively. The current quarter effective tax rate was adversely impacted by nondeductible stock based compensation expense and was partially offset by a tax benefit recognized upon the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to an unrecognized tax benefit.

Lease_Financing_Obligations

Lease Financing Obligations [Abstract]	'
Lease Financing Obligations	'
	Lease Financing Obligations
	In certain lease arrangements, the Company is involved in the construction of the building. To the extent the Company is involved in the construction of structural improvements or takes construction risk prior to commencement of a lease, it is deemed the owner of the project for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Company records an asset in property and equipment on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, including any capitalized interest costs, and related liabilities in accrued interest and lease financing obligations in Other Long-Term liabilities on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the replacement cost of the Company's portion of the pre-existing building plus the amount of construction costs incurred by the landlord as of the balance sheet date. Once construction is complete, the Company considers the requirements for sale-leaseback treatment, including the transfer of all risks of ownership back to the landlord, and whether the Company has any continuing involvement in the leased property. If the arrangement does not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment, the building assets subject to these obligations remain on the unaudited Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at their historical cost, and such assets are depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The replacement cost of the pre-existing building, as well as the costs of construction paid by the landlord, are recorded as lease financing obligations, and a portion of the lease payments are applied as payments of principal and interest. The interest rate selected for lease financing obligations is evaluated at lease inception based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate. At the end of the initial lease term, should the Company decide not to renew the lease, the Company would reverse equal amounts of the remaining net book value of the assets and the corresponding lease financing obligations. The initial lease terms related to these lease arrangements are expected to expire in 2023 and 2030. As of May 3, 2014 and February 1, 2014 there was $75.2 million and $63.2 million, respectively, of landlord funded construction, the replacement cost of pre-existing property, and capitalized interest in property and equipment on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was also $74.6 million and $63.0 million of lease financing obligations as of May 3, 2014 and February 1, 2014, respectively, in other long-term liabilities on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The transactions involving the initial recording of these assets and liabilities are classified as non-cash items for purposes of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Rent expense relating to the land is recognized on a straight-line basis once construction begins. The Company does not report rent expense for the portion of the rent payment determined to be related to the lease obligations which are owned for accounting purposes. Rather, this portion of the rent payment under the lease is recognized as a reduction of the lease financing obligations and as interest expense.

	Revolving Credit Facility
	On July 29, 2011, Express Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Express Holding"), and its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated $200.0 million secured Asset-Based Credit Facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"). As of May 3, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding and approximately $198.0 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.
	The Revolving Credit Facility requires Express Holding and its subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 if excess availability plus eligible cash collateral is less than 10% of the borrowing base for 15 consecutive days. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants and restrictions on Express Holding and its subsidiaries' activities, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and prepayment of other debt; distributions, dividends, and the repurchase of capital stock; transactions with affiliates; and the ability to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year. All obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries (that are not borrowers) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries.
	Senior Notes
	On March 5, 2010, Express, LLC and Express Finance Corp. ("Express Finance"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, co-issued, in a private placement, $250.0 million of 8 3/4% Senior Notes due in 2018 (the "Senior Notes") at an offering price of 98.6% of the face value.
	The Senior Notes may be redeemed in part or in full at the following percentages of the outstanding principal amount prepaid: 104.38% prior to March 1, 2015; 102.19% on or after March 1, 2015, but prior to March 1, 2016; and at the principal amount on or after March 1, 2016.
	The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of Express, LLC, Express Finance, and Express, LLC's restricted subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of additional indebtedness; payment of dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock or certain other restricted payments or investments; entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; the sale or disposal of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; the incurrence of liens; and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of Express, LLC's assets. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the Senior Notes are assigned an investment grade rating by both Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service and no default has occurred or is continuing. If either rating on the Senior Notes should subsequently decline to below investment grade, the suspended covenants will be reinstated.
	Fair Value of Debt
	The fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated using a number of factors, such as recent trade activity, size, timing, and yields of comparable bonds and is, therefore, within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of May 3, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $209.4 million.
	Letters of Credit
	The Company may enter into various trade letters of credit ("trade LCs") in favor of certain vendors to secure merchandise. These trade LCs are issued for a defined period of time, for specific shipments, and generally expire 3 weeks after the merchandise shipment date. As of May 3, 2014 and February 1, 2014, there were no outstanding trade LCs. Additionally, the Company enters into stand-by letters of credit ("stand-by LCs") on an as-needed basis to secure merchandise and fund other general and administrative costs. As of both May 3, 2014 and February 1, 2014, outstanding stand-by LCs totaled $2.0 million.

	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company records the fair value of share-based payments to employees in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
	Share-Based Compensation Plans
	The following summarizes our share-based compensation expense:

	Restricted shares (equity issued pre-IPO)		—				1
	Total share-based compensation		$	6,336			$	5,011
	The stock compensation related income tax benefit recognized by the Company during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014, and May 4, 2013 was $3.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
	Stock Options
	During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014, the Company granted stock options under the Amended and Restated Express, Inc. 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan"). The fair value of the stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model as described later in this note. Stock options granted in 2014 under the 2010 Plan vest 25% per year over four years and have a 10 year contractual life; however, options granted to the Chief Executive Officer in prior years vest ratably over three years. The expense for stock options is recognized using the straight-line attribution method.
	The Company's activity with respect to stock options during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 was as follows:

	Weighted average grant date fair value of options granted (per share)	$	8.57			$	9.27
	Total intrinsic value of options exercised	$	—			$	93
	As of May 3, 2014, there was approximately $9.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years.
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value stock options granted to employees and directors. The Company's determination of the fair value of stock options is affected by the Company's stock price as well as a number of subjective and complex assumptions. These assumptions include the risk-free interest rate, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, expected term of the award, and dividend yield.
	The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the stock options on the date of the grant:
		Thirteen Weeks Ended
		May 3, 2014			May 4, 2013
	Risk-free interest rate (1)	1.9	%		1.06	%
	Price Volatility (2)	54.7	%		56	%
	Expected term (years) (3)	6.25			6.19
	Dividend yield (4)	—			—
	-1	Represents the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a term consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
	-2	Beginning in May 2012, the Company began using its own volatility in addition to the historical volatility of selected comparable companies in the determination of expected volatility. Comparable companies were selected primarily based on industry, stage of life cycle, and size. The historical lookback period is consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
	-3	Calculated utilizing the “simplified” methodology prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 due to the lack of historical exercise data necessary to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the term.
	-4	The Company does not currently plan on paying regular dividends.
	Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock
	During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2010 Plan, including 0.5 million RSUs with performance conditions. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company's stock price on the grant date. The expense for RSUs without performance conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method. The expense for RSUs with performance conditions is recognized using the graded vesting method based on the expected achievement of the performance conditions. The RSUs with performance conditions are also subject to time-based vesting. One-half of the RSUs earned based on the achievement of performance criteria vest on the second anniversary of the date of the grant and the remainder vest on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. RSUs without performance conditions vest ratably over four years.
	The Company's activity with respect to RSUs and restricted stock for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 was as follows:
		Number of		Grant Date
		Shares		Weighted Average
				Fair Value Per Share
		(in thousands, except per share amounts)
	Unvested, February 1, 2014	1,487		$	19.29
	Granted*	685		$	15.87
	Vested	(496	)	$	19.44
	Forfeited	(10	)	$	19.04
	Unvested, May 3, 2014	1,666		$	17.85
	*There were approximately 0.5 million RSUs with two-year performance conditions granted in the first quarter of 2014. None of these RSUs are currently included as granted in the table above. The number of performance based RSUs that ultimately are earned may vary from 0% to 125% of target depending on the achievement of predefined operating targets.
	The total fair value/intrinsic value of RSUs and restricted stock that vested during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 was $9.6 million. As of May 3, 2014, there was approximately $21.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and restricted stock which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

	Commitments and Contingencies
	During 2013 and 2014, the Company received letters from two individuals claiming that it unlawfully collected their zip codes
	in connection with a retail purchase made at a Massachusetts store and thereafter used that information to send them unwanted
	marketing materials. These letters indicate that the individuals may file suit on behalf of a class of customers whose zip codes
	were collected and recorded at Company stores in Massachusetts in connection with credit card purchases, and claims that the
	Company used the collected zip code data to obtain customers’ addresses for purposes of mailing them unwanted advertising
	material. These letters further seek monetary damages pursuant to a claim under Chapter 93A of the General Laws of Massachusetts. In the first quarter of 2014, after providing the claimants with information about the Company's collection practices, the Company received notice that one of the claimants will not pursue the claims previously alleged against the Company. The other claimant has not yet responded. The Company believes the allegations in the letters are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against any claims that are filed in court. Due to the uncertainties of litigation, it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur a loss related to these potential suits. However, the amount of such loss, if any, cannot be estimated as of the date these financial statements are issued.
	From time to time the Company is subject to various claims and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims and contingencies, if any, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Segment Reporting, Policy	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Company defines an operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally. The Company has determined that, together, its Chief Executive Officer, President, and its Chief Operating Officer are the Chief Operating Decision Maker and that there is one operating segment. Therefore, the Company reports results as a single segment, which includes the operation of its Express brick-and-mortar retail and outlet stores, e-commerce operations, and franchise operations.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy	'
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value stock options granted to employees and directors. The Company's determination of the fair value of stock options is affected by the Company's stock price as well as a number of subjective and complex assumptions. These assumptions include the risk-free interest rate, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, expected term of the award, and dividend yield.
	The Company records the fair value of share-based payments to employees in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
	During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2010 Plan, including 0.5 million RSUs with performance conditions. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company's stock price on the grant date. The expense for RSUs without performance conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method. The expense for RSUs with performance conditions is recognized using the graded vesting method

	Dividend yield (4)	—			—
	-1	Represents the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a term consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
	-2	Beginning in May 2012, the Company began using its own volatility in addition to the historical volatility of selected comparable companies in the determination of expected volatility. Comparable companies were selected primarily based on industry, stage of life cycle, and size. The historical lookback period is consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
	-3	Calculated utilizing the “simplified” methodology prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 due to the lack of historical exercise data necessary to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the term.
	-4	The Company does not currently plan on paying regular dividends.
