Description of Business and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	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 e-commerce website, www.express.com, as well as its mobile app. As of October 29, 2016 , Express operated 554 primarily mall-based retail stores in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico as well as 99 factory outlet stores. Additionally, as of October 29, 2016 , the Company earned revenue from 20 franchise stores in Latin America and the Middle East. These franchise stores are operated by franchisees pursuant to franchise agreements. Under the franchise agreements, the franchisees operate stand-alone Express stores that sell Express-branded apparel and accessories purchased directly from the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company made a strategic decision to exit its franchise agreements in the Middle East and South Africa. As a result, 13 franchise stores in the Middle East and South Africa have been closed in 2016 and the remaining two stores are expected to be closed by the end of 2016. 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 " 2016 " and " 2015 " represent the 52-week periods ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , respectively. All references herein to "the third quarter of 2016 " and "the third quarter of 2015 " represent the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016 and October 31, 2015 , 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 and therefore do not include all of the information or 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 2016 . Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended January 30, 2016 , included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016 . 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 unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early application permitted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on its balance sheet. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies several of the elements of accounting for share-based payments, including recognizing all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement immediately, allowing an entity to elect to either estimate the total number of awards that will vest or recognize forfeitures when they occur, modifying the tax withholding threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax withholding, and clarifying the classification for excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. The Company elected to early adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2016 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company will continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur in determining the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	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 President and Chief Executive Officer 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 Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 (in thousands) (in thousands) Apparel $ 446,999 $ 482,472 $ 1,327,090 $ 1,394,458 Accessories and other 51,301 52,898 157,963 155,110 Other revenue 7,790 11,246 28,713 35,008 Total net sales $ 506,090 $ 546,616 $ 1,513,766 $ 1,584,576 Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 (in thousands) (in thousands) Stores $ 401,963 $ 451,525 $ 1,241,669 $ 1,313,126 E-commerce 96,337 83,845 243,384 236,442 Other revenue 7,790 11,246 28,713 35,008 Total net sales $ 506,090 $ 546,616 $ 1,513,766 $ 1,584,576 Other revenue consists primarily of sell-off revenue related to mark-out-of-stock inventory sales to third parties, shipping and handling revenue related to e-commerce activity, and revenue from franchise agreements. Revenue and long-lived assets relating to the Company's international operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended and as of October 29, 2016 and October 31, 2015 , respectively, were not material for any period presented and, therefore, are not reported separately from domestic revenue or long-lived assets.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share The following table provides a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted-average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 (in thousands) Weighted-average shares - basic 78,401 84,240 78,754 84,453 Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock 194 609 397 556 Weighted-average shares - diluted 78,595 84,849 79,151 85,009 Equity awards representing 3.6 million and 4.0 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 , respectively, as the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive. Equity awards representing 1.1 million and 2.4 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015 , respectively, as the inclusion of these awards would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 , 0.7 million shares were excluded from the computations 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 performance goals which have not been achieved as of October 29, 2016 .

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements 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. Financial Assets The following table presents the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016 , aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. October 29, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Money market funds $ 63,430 $ — $ — January 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Money market funds $ 152,069 $ — $ — The carrying amounts reflected on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses, and payables as of October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016 approximated their fair values. Non-Financial Assets The Company's non-financial assets, which include fixtures, equipment, improvements, and intangible assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur indicating the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable, or annually in the case of indefinite lived intangibles, an impairment test is required. The impairment test requires the Company to estimate the fair value of the assets and compare this to the carrying value of the assets. If the fair value of the asset is less than the carrying value, then an impairment charge is recognized and the non-financial assets are recorded at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Factors used in the evaluation include, but are not limited to, management's plans for future operations, recent operating results, and projected cash flows. During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016 , the Company did no t recognize any impairment charges. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 , the Company recognized impairment charges of approximately $0.8 million related to two stores, both of which are now fully impaired. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015 , the Company did no t recognize any impairment charges.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
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 tax rate was 19.6% and 39.2% for the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016 and October 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company's effective tax rate was 33.8% and 39.3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 and October 31, 2015 , respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 include a net discrete tax benefit of $2.9 million . This tax benefit is the result of a $7.1 million tax benefit attributable to the release of a reserve for uncertain tax positions as a result of the expiration of the associated statute of limitations, partially offset by an increase in tax expense of $4.2 million related to the expiration of certain unexercised stock options previously held by the former Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board"). Both items were recorded during the thirteen-week period ended October 29, 2016 .

Lease Financing Obligations

Leases [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. The initial terms of the lease arrangements for which the Company is considered the owner are expected to expire in 2023 and 2030. The net book value of landlord funded construction, replacement cost of pre-existing property, and capitalized interest in property and equipment on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets was $64.7 million and $67.4 million , as of October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016 , respectively. There was also $5.6 million and $69.6 million of lease financing obligations as of October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016 , respectively, in other long-term liabilities on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the first quarter of 2016, $63.7 million was reclassified to accrued expenses as a result of the amendment to the Times Square store lease discussed further below. The remaining lease financing obligation of $62.9 million is included in accrued expenses on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent expense relating to the land is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not report rent expense for the portion of the rent payment determined to be related to the buildings which are owned for accounting purposes. Rather, this portion of the rent payment under the lease is recognized as interest expense and a reduction of the lease financing obligations. In February 2016, the Company amended its lease arrangement with the landlord of the Times Square Flagship store. The Company had previously determined it was the owner of the store for accounting purposes based on an assessment of the lease arrangement at inception as described above. The amendment provides the landlord with the option to cancel the lease upon sufficient notice through December 31, 2016. If the landlord exercises this option, the Company will be required to make a cash payment of $15 million to the landlord. In conjunction with amending the lease, the Company recognized an $11.4 million put option liability and a related offset as a discount on the lease financing obligation. The discount was amortized over the shortest period under which the landlord was able to exercise this option ( 60 days). This resulted in the full amortization of the $11.4 million discount during the first quarter of 2016. The amortization of the discount was recorded as interest expense. As of October 29, 2016 , the fair value of the put option was $9.5 million and is included within accrued expenses on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt A summary of the Company's financing activities are as follows: Revolving Credit Facility On May 20, 2015, Express Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Express Holding"), and its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated $250.0 million secured Asset-Based Credit Facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"). The expiration date of the facility is May 20, 2020. As of October 29, 2016 , there were no borrowings outstanding and approximately $246.8 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. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants and restrictions on Express Holding's 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, prepayment of other debt, distributions, dividends, the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates, the ability to change the nature of its business or fiscal year, and permitted business activities. 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, among other assets, substantially all working capital assets including cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, of Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries. Senior Notes On March 5, 2010, Express, LLC and Express Finance Corp., 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. On March 1, 2015, the outstanding notes in the amount of $200.9 million were redeemed in full at 102.19% of the principal amount, with total payments equal to $205.3 million , plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Loss on Extinguishment In connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized a $9.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which was recorded as interest expense in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The redemption premium represented approximately $4.4 million of this loss on extinguishment. The remaining loss on extinguishment was attributable to the unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discount write-offs totaling $5.3 million . The unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discount write-offs are presented as a non-cash adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Letters of Credit The Company may enter into stand-by letters of credit ("stand-by LCs") on an as-needed basis to secure payment obligations for merchandise purchases and other general and administrative expenses. As of October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016 , outstanding stand-by LCs totaled $3.2 million and $2.8 million , respectively.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	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 share-based compensation expense: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 (in thousands) Restricted stock units and restricted stock $ 2,701 $ 3,283 $ 8,701 $ 12,341 Stock options 502 762 2,082 2,773 Total share-based compensation $ 3,203 $ 4,045 $ 10,783 $ 15,114 The stock compensation related income tax benefit recognized by the Company during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 was $0.1 million and $6.0 million , respectively. The stock compensation related income tax benefit recognized by the Company during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015 was $0.8 million and $4.6 million , respectively. Stock Options During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 , the Company granted stock options under the 2010 Plan. Stock options granted in 2016 under the 2010 Plan vest 25% per year over four years or upon reaching retirement eligibility, defined as providing ten years of service and being at least 55 years old. These options have a ten year contractual life. The expense for stock options is recognized using the straight-line attribution method. The Company's activity with respect to stock options during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 was as follows: Number of Shares Grant Date Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands, except per share amounts and years) Outstanding, January 31, 2016 3,446 $ 18.31 Granted 229 $ 21.14 Exercised (159 ) $ 17.23 Forfeited or expired (1,184 ) $ 19.20 Outstanding, October 29, 2016 2,332 $ 18.21 5.9 $ 28 Expected to vest at October 29, 2016 547 $ 18.37 8.3 $ — Exercisable at October 29, 2016 1,760 $ 18.14 5.1 $ 28 The following table provides additional information regarding the Company's stock options: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts) Weighted average grant date fair value of options granted (per share) $ 9.50 $ 7.79 Total intrinsic value of options exercised $ 547 $ 175 As of October 29, 2016 , there was approximately $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value stock options granted to employees. 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 fair value of stock options was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Risk-free interest rate (1) 1.60 % 1.60 % Price volatility (2) 43.15 % 47.81 % Expected term (years) (3) 6.54 6.25 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) Primarily based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a period consistent with the expected term of the stock options. (3) Beginning in 2016, the Company calculated the expected term assumption using the midpoint scenario, which combines historical exercise data with hypothetical exercise data for outstanding options. The Company believes this data currently represents the best estimate of the expected term of new employee options. (4) The Company does not currently plan on paying regular dividends. Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 , the Company granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2010 Plan, including 0.3 million RSUs with performance conditions. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company's closing stock price on the day prior to the grant date in accordance with the 2010 Plan. 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. All of the RSUs granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 that are earned based on the achievement of performance criteria will vest on April 15, 2019. RSUs without performance conditions vest ratably over four years. The Company's activity with respect to RSUs and restricted stock, including awards with performance conditions, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 was as follows: Number of Shares Grant Date Weighted Average Fair Value Per Share (in thousands, except per share amounts) Unvested, January 31, 2016 2,212 $ 16.66 Granted (1) 653 $ 20.45 Performance Shares Adjustment (2) (50 ) $ 16.28 Vested (790 ) $ 17.26 Forfeited (128 ) $ 17.55 Unvested, October 29, 2016 1,897 $ 17.66 (1) Approximately 0.3 million RSUs with three -year performance conditions were granted in the first quarter of 2016. None of these RSUs are currently included as granted in the table above. The number of performance-based RSUs that are ultimately earned may vary from 0% to 200% of target depending on the achievement of predefined financial performance targets. (2) Relates to a change in estimate of RSUs with performance conditions granted in 2015. Currently, 112% of the number of shares granted in 2015 are expected to vest based on estimates against predefined financial performance targets. The total fair value of RSUs and restricted stock that vested during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 was $13.6 million . As of October 29, 2016 , there was approximately $22.3 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 1.7 years.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements, Policy	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 unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early application permitted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on its balance sheet. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies several of the elements of accounting for share-based payments, including recognizing all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement immediately, allowing an entity to elect to either estimate the total number of awards that will vest or recognize forfeitures when they occur, modifying the tax withholding threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax withholding, and clarifying the classification for excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. The Company elected to early adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2016 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company will continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur in determining the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period.
Segment Reporting, Policy	The Company defines an operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally. The Company has determined that, together, its President and Chief Executive Officer 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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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.
LeaseFinancingObligations [Policy Text Block]	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.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy	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. Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 , the Company granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2010 Plan, including 0.3 million RSUs with performance conditions. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company's closing stock price on the day prior to the grant date in accordance with the 2010 Plan. 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. All of the RSUs granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2016 that are earned based on the achievement of performance criteria will vest on April 15, 2019. RSUs without performance conditions vest ratably over four years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value stock options granted to employees. 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.
