Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Because of the seasonal nature of the business, results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year's operations. The accounting policies followed by the Company and additional footnotes are reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 , included in The Buckle, Inc.'s 2018 Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2019 is derived from audited financial statements. For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company”, “Buckle”, “we”, “us”, or similar terms refer to The Buckle, Inc. and its subsidiary. The Company follows generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). References to GAAP in these notes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There were no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note A to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 , except as set forth below. Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which superseded the requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases . The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted Topic 842 on February 3, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this transition method, the prior period comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 840. The Company has elected to apply the "practical expedient package," which permits it to not reassess previous conclusions around lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Topic 842 also provides a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for new leases as well as existing leases through transition, which the Company has elected to apply for each class of underlying assets. The Company did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient. Further, the Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude short-term leases from the recognition requirements. As a result of the adoption of the standard, the Company recognized net ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $362,589 and $389,849 , respectively, as of February 3, 2019 based on the present value of the total fixed payments for retail store and corporate office operating leases. These payments were discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate which was determined based on information available at the commencement date, including lease term. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 2019 . See Footnote 6, Leases , for further details.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is 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. Financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: • Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Short-term and long-term investments with active markets or known redemption values are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. • Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs (either directly or indirectly) such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or inputs that are corroborated by market data. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and are projections, estimates, or interpretations that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets. As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019 , the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis including its investments in trading securities. The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs November 2, 2019 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Trading securities (including mutual funds) $ 15,410 $ — $ — $ 15,410 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs February 2, 2019 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Trading securities (including mutual funds) $ 13,978 $ — $ — $ 13,978 Securities included in Level 1 represent securities which have publicly traded quoted prices. There were no transfers of securities between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the thirty-nine week periods ended November 2, 2019 or November 3, 2018 . The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the low level of risk these assets present and their relatively liquid nature, particularly given their short maturities. The Company also holds certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, including held-to-maturity securities. Held-to-maturity securities consist primarily of state and municipal bonds. The fair values of these debt securities are based on quoted market prices and yields for the same or similar securities, which the Company determined to be Level 2 inputs. As of November 2, 2019 , the fair value of held-to-maturity securities was $32,286 compared to the carrying amount of $32,246 . As of February 2, 2019 , the fair value of held-to-maturity securities was $56,371 compared to the carrying amount of $56,313 . The carrying values of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. From time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, specifically long-lived assets evaluated for impairment. These are typically store specific assets, which are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate impairment may exist due to the questionable recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets. If expected future cash flows related to a store’s assets are less than their carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the store's assets. The fair value of the store's assets is estimated utilizing an income-based approach based on the expected cash flows over the remaining life of the store's lease. The amount of impairment related to long-lived assets was immaterial for all periods presented.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company's lease portfolio is primarily comprised of leases for retail store locations. The Company also leases certain equipment and corporate office space. Store leases for new stores typically have an initial term of 10 years, with options to renew for an additional 1 to 5 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion and is included in the lease term for calculations of its right-of-use assets and liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company plans to renew these leases. Certain store lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees, material restrictive covenants, or options to purchase the leased property. As part of the Company's adoption of Topic 842, as previously discussed in Footnote 1, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to account for lease components (e.g. fixed payments for rent, insurance, and real estate taxes) and nonlease components (e.g. fixed payments for common area maintenance) together as a single component for all underlying asset classes. Additionally, the Company elected as an accounting policy to exclude short-term leases from the recognition requirements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	9 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company has several stock option plans which allow for granting of stock options to employees, executives, and directors. The Company has not granted any stock options since fiscal 2008 and there are currently no stock options outstanding. The Company also has a restricted stock plan that allows for the granting of non-vested shares of common stock to employees and executives and a restricted stock plan that allows for the granting of non-vested shares of common stock to non-employee directors. As of November 2, 2019 , 850,723 shares were available for grant under the Company’s various restricted stock plans, of which 822,412 shares were available for grant to executive officers. Compensation expense was recognized during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 for equity-based grants, based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of grants of non-vested common stock awards is the stock price on the date of grant. Information regarding the impact of compensation expense related to grants of non-vested shares of common stock is as follows: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 2, November 3, November 2, November 3, Stock-based compensation expense, before tax $ 356 $ 411 $ 2,889 $ 3,307 Stock-based compensation expense, after tax $ 269 $ 305 $ 2,181 $ 2,451 Non-vested shares of common stock granted during the thirty-nine week periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Restricted Stock Plan and the Company’s 2008 Director Restricted Stock Plan. Shares granted under the 2005 Plan are typically "performance based" and vest over a period of four years , only upon certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors that the Company has achieved its pre-established performance targets for the fiscal year. Certain shares granted under the 2005 Plan, however, are "non-performance based" and vest over a period of four years without being subject to the achievement of performance targets. Shares granted under the 2008 Director Plan vest 25% on the date of grant and then in equal portions on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. A summary of the Company’s stock-based compensation activity related to grants of non-vested shares of common stock for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 2019 is as follows: Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-Vested - beginning of year 503,173 $ 20.67 Granted 371,000 17.38 Forfeited (160,032 ) 19.56 Vested (39,542 ) 19.38 Non-Vested - end of quarter 674,599 $ 19.20 As of November 2, 2019 , there was $3,926 of unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of non-vested shares. It is expected that this expense will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years . The total fair value of shares vested during the thirty-nine week periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 was $698 and $702 , respectively. During the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 2019 , 146,150 shares (representing one-half of the "performance based" shares granted during fiscal 2018 under the 2005 Restricted Stock Plan) were forfeited because the Company did not achieve all of the performance targets established for the fiscal 2018 grants.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Data Security Incident On June 16, 2017, the Company announced that it had become aware that it was a victim of a data security incident in which a threat actor accessed certain guest payment information following purchases at some of the Company's retail stores between October 28, 2016, and April 14, 2017. The Company immediately launched a thorough investigation and engaged leading third-party forensic experts to review its systems and secure the affected part of its network. Through that investigation, the Company learned that its store payment data systems were infected with a form of malicious code, which was removed. The Company has taken actions that it believes have contained the issue and has implemented additional security enhancements. Based on the forensic investigation, the Company believes that no social security numbers, email addresses, or physical addresses were obtained by those criminally responsible. There is also no evidence that the buckle.com website or buckle.com guests were impacted by this event. Buckle self-reported the incident to the payment card brands and cooperated fully with the card brands, their forensic experts, and law enforcement during the investigation. To the extent that any card brand imposes a potential assessment, fine, penalty, or other liability in connection with this incident, the Company does not expect that such amounts, whether individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated result of operations and financial position.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Because of the seasonal nature of the business, results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year's operations. The accounting policies followed by the Company and additional footnotes are reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 , included in The Buckle, Inc.'s 2018 Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2019 is derived from audited financial statements. For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company”, “Buckle”, “we”, “us”, or similar terms refer to The Buckle, Inc. and its subsidiary. The Company follows generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). References to GAAP in these notes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There were no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note A to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 , except as set forth below.
Leases	Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which superseded the requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases . The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted Topic 842 on February 3, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this transition method, the prior period comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 840. The Company has elected to apply the "practical expedient package," which permits it to not reassess previous conclusions around lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Topic 842 also provides a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for new leases as well as existing leases through transition, which the Company has elected to apply for each class of underlying assets. The Company did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient. Further, the Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude short-term leases from the recognition requirements. As a result of the adoption of the standard, the Company recognized net ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $362,589 and $389,849 , respectively, as of February 3, 2019 based on the present value of the total fixed payments for retail store and corporate office operating leases. These payments were discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate which was determined based on information available at the commencement date, including lease term. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended November 2, 2019 . See Footnote 6, Leases , for further details.
