Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the balances of Nordstrom, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described and applied in our 2019 Annual Report and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019 are unaudited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 1, 2020 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2019 Annual Report. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures contained in our 2019 Annual Report. Our business, like that of other retailers, is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our sales are typically higher in our second quarter, which historically included our Anniversary Sale, and the holidays in the fourth quarter. As a result of COVID-19, the Anniversary Sale was moved to August in 2020, which falls entirely in our third fiscal quarter. Results for any one quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Uncertainties regarding such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Our most significant accounting judgments and estimates include leases, revenue recognition, long-lived asset recoverability, goodwill impairment and income taxes, all of which involve assumptions about future events. We may be unable to accurately predict the impact of COVID-19 going forward and as a result our estimates may change in the near term. See below for areas where our estimates and assumptions were further impacted by COVID-19. Revenue Recognition We reduce sales and cost of sales by an estimate of our future customer merchandise returns, which is calculated based on historical return patterns, and record a sales return allowance and an estimated return asset. We record the impact of the sales return allowance in our separate Full-Price, Off-Price and digital sales metrics. The majority of our returns from both digital and physical sales come through our stores. During the current year, we have experienced declines in our actual return rates, primarily at Full-Price. Accordingly, we have adjusted our estimates of future return rates to reflect recent experience. Estimating future returns requires substantial judgement based on current and historical trends, and actual returns may vary from our estimates. Long-Lived Assets When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of buildings, equipment and ROU assets may be impaired, we compare the carrying value to the related projected future cash flows, among other quantitative and qualitative analysis. These projections are inherently subject to uncertainties and while we believe the inputs and assumptions utilized in our future cash flows are reasonable, our estimates may change in the near term based on our future performance. As we optimized our mix of physical and digital assets to align with longer-term customer trends, we closed 16 FLS, six Trunk Club clubhouses and three Jeffrey boutiques in the first half of 2020. As part of these closures, we incurred non-cash impairment charges on long-lived tangible and ROU assets, primarily associated with the FLS closures, to adjust the carrying values to their estimated fair value. The following table provides details related to asset impairment charges as a result of COVID-19: October 31, 2020 Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended Long-lived asset impairment 1 $— $96 Operating lease ROU asset impairment 1 — 41 Total asset impairment $— $137 1 As of October 31, 2020, the carrying value of the applicable long-lived and operating lease ROU assets after impairment was $13 and $3. These charges are primarily included in our Retail segment SG&A expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Goodwill Impairment We review our goodwill annually in the fourth quarter or when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed fair value. Our most recently completed goodwill impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of 2019 indicated significant excess fair values over carrying values. After performing both qualitative and quantitative analyses, including review of future long-term revenue and cash flow assumptions, we concluded a triggering event requiring us to accelerate our annual goodwill impairment analysis did not occur, as we still expect any potential change in fair value to exceed carrying value. As a result, we did not record a goodwill impairment charge for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. CARES Act and Other COVID-19 Stimulus On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, providing payroll tax credits for employee retention, deferral of payroll taxes and several income tax provisions including modifications to the net interest deduction limitation, changes to certain property depreciation and allowing for carryback of certain operating losses. We have estimated the impacts of the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related stimulus in accordance with our overall approach for determining our income tax provision, which uses an estimated annual effective tax rate based on our best estimates and adjusts for discrete taxable events that occur during the quarter. As a result, we will carryback our 2020 U.S. federal operating loss and recover taxes previously paid at the applicable 35% tax rate rather than the current rate of 21%. Our estimated annual effective tax rate reflects this benefit and is the primary driver for the rate increase when compared with 2019. As a result, we recorded $544 in taxes receivable as of October 31, 2020, which is classified in prepaid expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, we recognized $62 in employee retention payroll tax credits and elected to defer payment of the employer portion of social security taxes, both as provided for under the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related stimulus. Severance In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded $88 of restructuring costs in connection with our regional and corporate reorganization, including $25 in cost of sales and related buying and occupancy costs and $63 in SG&A on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Leases We incurred operating lease liabilities arising from the commencement of lease agreements of $55 for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and $102 for the nine months ended November 2, 2019. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10825, Modernization of Regulation S-K Items 101, 103 and 105 , amending certain disclosure requirements for the description of business, legal proceedings and risk factors. This final rule will be effective for us in the fourth quarter of 2020. We continue to evaluate the effects of this rule, however, we do not anticipate the adoption of this final rule to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt And Credit Facilities	NOTE 3: DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES Debt During the first quarter of 2020, we issued $600 aggregate principal amount of 8.750% Senior Secured Notes due May 2025. These notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries and secured by various store, distribution center and corporate properties. The Secured Notes contain covenants that include limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, dividend payments and equity distributions, in addition to certain change of control triggering events and provisions for events of default. We will be permitted to prepay our Secured Notes at a premium beginning in 2022. Credit Facilities During the first quarter of 2020, we amended our existing Revolver and borrowed $800. Under the terms of the amendment, if our Leverage Ratio is greater than four or our unsecured debt is rated below BBB- with a stable outlook at Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 with a stable outlook at Moody’s, any borrowings under our Revolver will be secured by substantially all our personal property and we will be subject to asset coverage and minimum liquidity covenants, as well as a fixed charge coverage covenant beginning in the third quarter of 2020. If our Leverage Ratio is below four and our unsecured debt is rated at or above BBB- with a stable outlook at Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 with a stable outlook at Moody’s, any borrowings under our Revolver will be unsecured, we will not be subject to the above covenants and the restrictions on dividend payments and share repurchases will be removed. As of October 31, 2020, our borrowings under the Revolver were classified as secured as our Leverage Ratio exceeded four and we did not meet or exceed our credit rating threshold. We met all other financial covenant measures for the quarter. Provided that we obtain written consent from the lenders, we have the option to increase the Revolver by up to $200, to a total of $1,000, and two options to extend the Revolver by one year. The Revolver expires in September 2023 and is classified in total current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of October 31, 2020, we had $200 outstanding under this facility after repaying $300 in the second quarter and $300 in the third quarter of 2020. The Revolver contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and terms, including paying a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our debt rating. The Revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. As a result of our borrowings under the Revolver, the full capacity of our $800 commercial paper program is not available to us at this time. When available, the program allows us to use the proceeds to fund operating cash requirements. Under the terms of the commercial paper agreement, we pay a rate of interest based on, among other factors, the maturity of the issuance and market conditions. The issuance of commercial paper has the effect of reducing available liquidity under the Revolver by an amount equal to the principal amount of commercial paper outstanding. As of October 31, 2020, we had no issuances outstanding under our commercial paper program.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We disclose our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by level within the fair value hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3: Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions Financial Instruments Measured at Carrying Value Financial instruments measured at carrying value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and our Revolver, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Long-term debt is recorded at carrying value. If long-term debt was measured at fair value, we would use quoted market prices of the same or similar issues, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our long-term debt, including current maturities: October 31, 2020 February 1, 2020 November 2, 2019 Carrying value of long-term debt $3,266 $2,676 $2,679 Fair value of long-term debt 2,865 2,905 2,831 Non-financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis We also measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill, long-lived tangible and ROU assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. For more information regarding long-lived tangible and ROU asset impairment charges for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, see Note 1: Basis of Presentation. There were no material impairment charges for the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	NOTE 6: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY In August 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $1,500 of our outstanding common stock, with no expiration date. On March 23, 2020, in response to uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced the suspension of our quarterly dividend payments beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and the immediate suspension of our share repurchase program. We remain committed to these programs over the long-term and intend to resume dividend payments and share repurchases when appropriate . Th e following is a summary of share repurchase activity: Nine Months Ended October 31, 2020 November 2, 2019 2018 Program Shares of common stock repurchased — 4.1 Aggregate amount of common stock repurchased — $186 We had $707 remaining in share repurchase capacity as of October 31, 2020. The actual timing, price, manner and amounts of future share repurchases, if any, will be subject to market and economic conditions, certain financial covenants and applicable SEC rules. The amendment to our Revolver contains negative covenants with respect to the payment of dividends and share repurchases when either our Leverage Ratio is above four or our unsecured debt is rated below BBB- with a stable outlook at Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 with a stable outlook at Moody’s. As of October 31, 2020, our Leverage Ratio exceeded four and we did not meet our credit rating covenant, preventing us from paying dividends or repurchasing shares.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Uncertainties regarding such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Our most significant accounting judgments and estimates include leases, revenue recognition, long-lived asset recoverability, goodwill impairment and income taxes, all of which involve assumptions about future events. We may be unable to accurately predict the impact of COVID-19 going forward and as a result our estimates may change in the near term. See below for areas where our estimates and assumptions were further impacted by COVID-19. Revenue Recognition We reduce sales and cost of sales by an estimate of our future customer merchandise returns, which is calculated based on historical return patterns, and record a sales return allowance and an estimated return asset. We record the impact of the sales return allowance in our separate Full-Price, Off-Price and digital sales metrics. The majority of our returns from both digital and physical sales come through our stores. During the current year, we have experienced declines in our actual return rates, primarily at Full-Price. Accordingly, we have adjusted our estimates of future return rates to reflect recent experience. Estimating future returns requires substantial judgement based on current and historical trends, and actual returns may vary from our estimates. Long-Lived Assets When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of buildings, equipment and ROU assets may be impaired, we compare the carrying value to the related projected future cash flows, among other quantitative and qualitative analysis. These projections are inherently subject to uncertainties and while we believe the inputs and assumptions utilized in our future cash flows are reasonable, our estimates may change in the near term based on our future performance. As we optimized our mix of physical and digital assets to align with longer-term customer trends, we closed 16 FLS, six Trunk Club clubhouses and three Jeffrey boutiques in the first half of 2020. As part of these closures, we incurred non-cash impairment charges on long-lived tangible and ROU assets, primarily associated with the FLS closures, to adjust the carrying values to their estimated fair value. The following table provides details related to asset impairment charges as a result of COVID-19: October 31, 2020 Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended Long-lived asset impairment 1 $— $96 Operating lease ROU asset impairment 1 — 41 Total asset impairment $— $137 1 As of October 31, 2020, the carrying value of the applicable long-lived and operating lease ROU assets after impairment was $13 and $3. These charges are primarily included in our Retail segment SG&A expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Goodwill Impairment We review our goodwill annually in the fourth quarter or when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed fair value. Our most recently completed goodwill impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of 2019 indicated significant excess fair values over carrying values. After performing both qualitative and quantitative analyses, including review of future long-term revenue and cash flow assumptions, we concluded a triggering event requiring us to accelerate our annual goodwill impairment analysis did not occur, as we still expect any potential change in fair value to exceed carrying value. As a result, we did not record a goodwill impairment charge for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. CARES Act and Other COVID-19 Stimulus On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, providing payroll tax credits for employee retention, deferral of payroll taxes and several income tax provisions including modifications to the net interest deduction limitation, changes to certain property depreciation and allowing for carryback of certain operating losses. We have estimated the impacts of the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related stimulus in accordance with our overall approach for determining our income tax provision, which uses an estimated annual effective tax rate based on our best estimates and adjusts for discrete taxable events that occur during the quarter. As a result, we will carryback our 2020 U.S. federal operating loss and recover taxes previously paid at the applicable 35% tax rate rather than the current rate of 21%. Our estimated annual effective tax rate reflects this benefit and is the primary driver for the rate increase when compared with 2019. As a result, we recorded $544 in taxes receivable as of October 31, 2020, which is classified in prepaid expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, we recognized $62 in employee retention payroll tax credits and elected to defer payment of the employer portion of social security taxes, both as provided for under the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related stimulus. Severance In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded $88 of restructuring costs in connection with our regional and corporate reorganization, including $25 in cost of sales and related buying and occupancy costs and $63 in SG&A on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10825, Modernization of Regulation S-K Items 101, 103 and 105 , amending certain disclosure requirements for the description of business, legal proceedings and risk factors. This final rule will be effective for us in the fourth quarter of 2020. We continue to evaluate the effects of this rule, however, we do not anticipate the adoption of this final rule to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
