Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices	Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices Description of the Business Guess?, Inc. (the “Company” or “GUESS?”) designs, markets, distributes and licenses a leading lifestyle collection of contemporary apparel and accessories for men, women and children that reflect the American lifestyle and European fashion sensibilities. The Company’s designs are sold in GUESS? owned stores, to a network of wholesale accounts that includes better department stores, selected specialty retailers and upscale boutiques and through the Internet. GUESS? branded products, some of which are produced under license, are also sold internationally through a series of licensees and distributors. Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52 / 53 -week fiscal year calendar, which ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 of each year. All references herein to “fiscal 2016 ,” “fiscal 2015 ” and “fiscal 2014 ” represent the results of the 52 -week fiscal years ended January 30, 2016 , January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 , respectively. References to “fiscal 2017 ” represent the 52 -week fiscal year ending January 28, 2017. Reclassifications The Company has made certain reclassifications to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results from operations or net cash provided by operating activities. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guess?, Inc., its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and its non wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, all references herein to “Guess?, Inc.” include the consolidated results of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its joint ventures. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated during the consolidation process. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the accounts receivable allowances, sales return allowances, gift card and loyalty accruals, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation, recoverability of deferred taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, the useful life of assets for depreciation and amortization, evaluation of asset impairment, pension obligations, workers compensation and medical self-insurance expense and accruals, litigation reserves and restructuring expense and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Business Segment Reporting Where applicable, the Company reports information about business segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s businesses are grouped into five reportable segments for management and internal financial reporting purposes: Americas Retail , Europe , Asia , Americas Wholesale and Licensing . In fiscal 2016, the Company changed the names of its “North American Retail” and “North American Wholesale” segments to “Americas Retail” and “Americas Wholesale” to better reflect that these segments are inclusive of its operations in North America as well as Central and South America. There have been no changes to the underlying reporting in either segment. The Company’s operating segments are the same as its reportable segments. Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenues and earnings (loss) from operations before restructuring charges, if any. The Company believes this segment reporting reflects how its five business segments are managed and how each segment’s performance is evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. The Americas Retail segment includes the Company’s retail and e-commerce operations in North and Central America and its retail operations in South America. The Europe segment includes the Company’s wholesale, retail and e-commerce operations in Europe and the Middle East. The Asia segment includes the Company’s retail, e-commerce and wholesale operations in Asia. The Americas Wholesale segment includes the Company’s wholesale operations in the Americas. The Licensing segment includes the worldwide licensing operations of the Company. The business segment operating results exclude corporate overhead costs, which consist of shared costs of the organization, and restructuring charges. These costs are presented separately and generally include, among other things, the following unallocated corporate costs: accounting and finance, executive compensation, facilities, global advertising and marketing, human resources, information technology and legal. Information regarding these segments is summarized in Note 17 . Revenue Recognition General The Company recognizes retail operations revenue at the point of sale and wholesale operations revenue from the sale of merchandise when products are shipped and the customer takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is reasonably assured, pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Revenue from our e-commerce operations, including shipping fees, is recognized based on the estimated customer receipt date. The Company accrues for estimated sales returns and other allowances in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. To recognize the financial impact of sales returns, the Company estimates the amount of goods that will be returned based on historical experience and reduces sales and cost of sales accordingly . Sales taxes and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted directly to governmental authorities are excluded from net revenues. Net Royalty Revenue Royalty revenue is based upon a percentage, as defined in the underlying agreement, of the licensee’s actual net sales or minimum net sales, whichever is greater. The Company may receive special payments in consideration of the grant of license rights. These payments are recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement. The unrecognized portion of upfront payments is included in deferred royalties in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities depending on the short or long-term nature of the payments to be recognized. As of January 30, 2016 , the Company had $14.0 million and $ 16.0 million of deferred royalties included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively. This compares to $15.1 million and $ 30.0 million of deferred royalties included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at January 31, 2015 . Gift Cards Gift card breakage is income recognized due to the non-redemption of a portion of gift cards sold by the Company for which a liability was recorded in prior periods. Gifts cards are mainly used in the U.S. and Canada. The Company issues gift cards through one of its subsidiaries and is not required by law to escheat the value of unredeemed gift cards to the state in which the subsidiary is domiciled. Estimated breakage amounts are accounted for under the redemption recognition method and are classified as additional net revenues as the gift cards are redeemed. The Company’s gift card breakage rate is approximately 5.4% and 4.6% for the U.S. retail business and Canadian retail business, respectively, based upon historical redemption patterns, which represents the cumulative estimated amount of gift card breakage from the inception of the electronic gift card program in late 2002. Based upon historical redemption trends, the Company recognizes estimated gift card breakage as a component of net revenue in proportion to actual gift card redemptions, over the period that remaining gift card values are redeemed. In fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , the Company recognized $0.5 million , $1.1 million and $0.8 million of gift card breakage to revenue, respectively. Any future revisions to the estimated breakage rate may result in changes in the amount of breakage income recognized in future periods. Loyalty Programs The Company launched customer loyalty programs primarily in North America for its GUESS? factory outlet, G by GUESS, GUESS? and MARCIANO stores . Under the programs, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty program member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. In all of the programs, unredeemed points generally expire after six months without additional purchase activity and unredeemed awards generally expire after two months. The Company uses historical redemption rates to estimate the value of future award redemptions which are accrued in current liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net revenue in the period which the related revenue is recognized. The aggregate dollar value of the loyalty program accruals included in accrued expenses was $4.6 million and $4.5 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. Future revisions to the estimated liability may result in changes to net revenue . Classification of Certain Costs and Expenses The Company includes inbound freight charges, purchasing costs and related overhead, retail store occupancy costs, including rent and depreciation, and a portion of the Company’s distribution costs related to its retail business in cost of product sales. Distribution costs related primarily to the wholesale business are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and amounted to $24.2 million , $28.8 million and $31.7 million for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. The Company also includes store selling, selling and merchandising, advertising, design and other corporate overhead costs as a component of SG&A expenses. The Company classifies amounts billed to customers for shipping fees as revenues and classifies costs related to shipping as cost of product sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Advertising and Marketing Costs The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses charged to operations for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 were $31.6 million , $40.0 million and $45.0 million , respectively. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based awards granted based on the grant date fair value. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and involves several assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rate . The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The expected stock price volatility is determined based on an average of both historical volatility and implied volatility. Implied volatility is derived from exchange traded options on the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectations of dividend payouts. The expected life is determined based on historical trends. The expected forfeiture rate is determined based on historical data. Compensation expense for nonvested stock options and stock awards/units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In addition, the Company has granted certain nonvested stock awards/units and stock options that require the recipient to achieve certain minimum performance targets in order for these awards to vest. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. If the minimum performance targets are not expected to be achieved, no expense is recognized during the period. The Company has also granted certain nonvested stock units which are subject to market-based performance targets in order for these units to vest. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. The grant date fair value for such nonvested stock units was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates option-pricing inputs covering the period from the grant date through the end of the performance period. Compensation expense for such nonvested stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. During fiscal 2016, the Company granted certain restricted stock units which vested immediately but are considered contingently returnable as a result of certain service conditions. Compensation expense for these restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the implied service period. Foreign Currency Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment The local selling currency is typically the functional currency for all of the Company’s significant international operations. In accordance with authoritative guidance, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Company records foreign currency translation adjustments related to its noncontrolling interests within stockholders’ equity. Periodically, the Company may also use foreign exchange currency contracts to hedge the translation and economic exposures related to its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries (see below). Changes in the fair values of these foreign exchange currency contracts, designated as net investment hedges, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. The total foreign currency translation adjustment de creased stockholders’ equity by $37.7 million , from an accumulated foreign currency translation loss of $124.4 million as of January 31, 2015 to an accumulated foreign currency translation loss of $162.1 million as of January 30, 2016 . Foreign Currency Transaction Gains and Losses Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, including gains and losses on foreign currency contracts (see below), are included in the consolidated statements of income. Net foreign currency transaction gains included in the determination of net earnings were $10.0 million , $13.8 million and $6.3 million for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. Derivatives Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts The Company operates in foreign countries, which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Various transactions that occur primarily in Europe, Canada, South Korea and Mexico are denominated in U.S. dollars and British pounds and thus are exposed to earnings risk as a result of exchange rate fluctuations when converted to their functional currencies. These types of transactions include U.S. dollar denominated purchases of merchandise and U.S. dollar and British pound denominated intercompany liabilities. In addition, certain operating expenses, tax liabilities and pension-related liabilities are denominated in Swiss francs and are exposed to earnings risk as a result of exchange rate fluctuations when converted to the functional currency . The Company has entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the risk of a portion of these anticipated foreign currency transactions against foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for certain of these hedges. The Company does not hedge all transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Company may also hedge the translation and economic exposures related to its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of the U.S. dollar/euro and U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar forward contracts for anticipated U.S. dollar merchandise purchases designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are recognized in cost of product sales in the period which approximates the time the hedged merchandise inventory is sold. Changes in the fair value of U.S. dollar/euro forward contracts for U.S. dollar intercompany royalties designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are recognized in other income and expense in the period in which the royalty expense is incurred. Changes in the fair value of any U.S. dollar/euro dollar forward contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are not recognized in earnings until the sale or liquidation of the hedged net investment . The Company also has forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The principal objective of this contract is to eliminate or reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate capital lease obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. As of January 30, 2016, this agreement was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements not designated as hedging instruments are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company also follows authoritative guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share represents net earnings attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include restricted stock units with forfeitable dividend rights that have been classified as issued and outstanding but are considered contingently returnable as a result of certain service conditions. These restricted stock units are considered common equivalent shares outstanding and are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation until the respective service conditions have been met. Diluted earnings per share represents net earnings attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. However, nonvested restricted stock awards (referred to as participating securities) are excluded from the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares outstanding in accordance with authoritative guidance under the two-class method since the nonvested restricted stockholders are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common stock as if the shares were fully vested and hence are deemed to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, earnings attributable to nonvested restricted stockholders are excluded from net earnings attributable to common stockholders for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share. However, net losses are not allocated to nonvested restricted stockholders since they are not contractually obligated to share in the losses of the Company. In addition, the Company has granted certain nonvested stock units that are subject to certain performance-based or market-based vesting conditions as well as continued service requirements through the respective vesting periods. These nonvested stock units are included in the computation of diluted net earnings per common share attributable to common stockholders only to the extent that the underlying performance-based or market-based vesting conditions are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period, or would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period, and the results would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and defined benefit plan impact from actuarial valuation gains or losses and related amortization, plan amendment, prior service credit or cost amortization and curtailment. Comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less. Investment Securities The Company accounts for its investment securities in accordance with authoritative guidance which requires investments to be classified into one of three categories based on management’s intent: held-to-maturity securities, available-for-sale securities and trading securities. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at their amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Trading securities are recorded at market value with unrealized gains and losses reported in net earnings. The appropriate classification of investment securities is determined at the time of purchase and reevaluated at each balance sheet date. The Company currently accounts for its investment securities as available-for-sale. There were minimal investment securities included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2016 . The Company periodically evaluates investment securities for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative criteria such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market value. Concentration of Credit and Liquidity Risk Cash used primarily for working capital purposes is maintained with various major financial institutions. The Company performs evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions in order to limit the amount of asset and liquidity exposure with any institution. Excess cash and cash equivalents, which represent the majority of the Company’s outstanding cash and cash equivalents balance, are held primarily in overnight deposit and short-term time deposit accounts and a diversified money market fund. The money market fund is AAA rated by national credit rating agencies and is generally comprised of high-quality, liquid investments. The Company is also exposed to concentrations of credit risk through its accounts receivable balances. The Company extends credit to corporate customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history and generally requires no collateral but does obtain credit insurance when considered appropriate. As of January 30, 2016 , approximately 55% of the Company’s total net trade accounts receivable and 70% of its European net trade receivables were subject to credit insurance coverage, certain bank guarantees or letters of credit for collection purposes. The Company’s credit insurance coverage contains certain terms and conditions specifying deductibles and annual claim limits. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that result from the inability of its wholesale customers to make their required payments. The Company bases its allowances on analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the financial statements, assessments of historical collection trends, an evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions and whether the Company has obtained credit insurance or other guarantees. The Company’s corporate customers are principally located throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia, and their ability to pay amounts due to the Company may be dependent on the prevailing economic conditions of their geographic region. However, such credit risk is considered limited due to the Company’s large customer base. Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations. The Company’s credit losses for the periods presented were immaterial and did not significantly exceed management’s estimates. The Company’s two largest wholesale customers accounted for approximately 3.4% , 3.6% and 3.3% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue in fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (primarily weighted average method) or market. The Company continually evaluates its inventories by assessing slow moving product as well as prior seasons’ inventory. Market value of aged inventory is estimated based on historical sales trends for each product line category, the impact of market trends, an evaluation of economic conditions, available liquidation channels and the value of current orders relating to the future sales of this type of inventory. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, which includes depreciation of the property under the capital lease, and purchased intangibles are provided using the straight-line method over the following useful lives: Building and building improvements including properties under capital lease 10 to 39 years Land improvements 5 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 2 to 10 years Purchased intangibles 4 to 20 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease, unless the renewal is reasonably assured. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the related asset is completed and placed in service. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company considers each individual retail location as an asset group for impairment testing, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. The asset group includes leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, computer hardware and software and certain long-term security deposits and lease acquisition costs. The Company reviews retail locations in penetrated markets for impairment risk once the locations have been opened for at least one year in their current condition, or sooner as changes in circumstances require. The Company believes that waiting one year allows a retail location to reach a maturity level where a more comprehensive analysis of financial performance can be performed. The Company evaluates impairment risk for retail locations in new markets, where the Company is in the early stages of establishing its presence, once the locations have been opened for at least two years . The Company believes that waiting two years allows for brand awareness to be established. The Company also evaluates impairment risk for retail locations that are expected to be closed in the foreseeable future. An asset is considered to be impaired if the Company determines that the carrying value may not be recoverable based upon its assessment of the asset’s ability to continue to generate earnings from operations and positive cash flow in future periods or if significant changes in the Company’s strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets occurred. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows. The impairment loss calculations require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows and the discount rates that reflect the risk inherent in future cash flows. Future expected cash flows for assets in retail locations are based on management’s estimates of future cash flows over the remaining lease period or expected life, if shorter. For expected retail location closures, the Company will evaluate whether it is necessary to shorten the useful life for any of the assets within the respective asset group. The Company will use this revised useful life when estimating the asset group’s future cash flows. The Company considers historical trends, expected future business trends and other factors when estimating the future cash flow for each retail location. The Company also considers factors such as: the local environment for each retail location, including mall traffic and competition; the Company’s ability to successfully implement strategic initiatives; and the ability to control variable costs such as cost of sales and payroll and, in some cases, renegotiate lease costs. The estimated cash flows used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered a Level 3 input as defined in Note 20 . If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, there may be additional exposure to future impairment losses that could be material to the Company’s results of operations . See Note 5 for further details on asset impairments. Goodwill Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level which may be either an operating segment or one level below an operating segment if discrete financial information is available. Two or more reporting units within an operating segment may be aggregated for impairment testing if they have similar economic characteristics. The Company has identified its Americas Retail and Americas Wholesale segments and its European wholesale and European retail components of its Europe segment as separate reporting units for goodwill impairment testing since each have different economic characteristics.

New Accounting Guidance

New Accounting Guidance	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 30, 2016
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Guidance	New Accounting Guidance Changes in Accounting Policies In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations. Under this new guidance, a discontinued operation is (1) a component of an entity or group of components that have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale and represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. This guidance also requires expanded or new disclosures for discontinued operations, individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation, an entity’s continuing involvement with a discontinued operation following disposal and retained equity method investments in a discontinued operation. The Company adopted this guidance effective February 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 . In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires additional disclosures if certain criteria are met. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as long-term on the balance sheet . The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and accordingly has classified its net deferred tax assets as long-term in its consolidated balance sheets as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 . Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional authoritative guidance to provide clarification on principal versus agent considerations included within the new revenue recognition standard. The standard (including the clarification guidance issued in March 2016) is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019, and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the choice of application method upon adoption. In February 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring such costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and requires retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which would permit an entity to measure its defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the calendar month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal period-end for interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and requires prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides clarification on accounting for cloud computing arrangements which include a software license. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and allows for either prospective or retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018, and requires prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and requires prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires equity investments not accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidation accounting to be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. This guidance also addresses other recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019, and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new lease standard which will supersede previous lease guidance. The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities related to long-term leases that were classified as operating leases under previous guidance in its balance sheet. An asset would be recognized related to the right to use the underlying asset and a liability would be recognized related to the obligation to make lease payments over the term of the lease. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding leases. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020, and requires modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects there will be a significant increase in its long-term assets and liabilities resulting from the adoption.

Construction in progress represents the costs associated with the construction in progress of leasehold improvements to be used in the Company’s operations, primarily for new and remodeled stores in retail operations. No interest costs were capitalized related to construction in progress during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 . The accumulated depreciation and amortization related to the property under the capital lease was approximately $6.2 million and $5.8 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively, and was included in depreciation expense when recognized. See Notes 8 and 14 for information regarding the associated capital lease obligations. Impairment The Company recorded impairment charges of $2.3 million , $24.8 million and $8.8 million for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. The impairment charges related primarily to the impairment of certain retail locations in North America and Europe resulting from under-performance and expected store closures during each of the respective periods. These impairment charges, which exclude impairment charges incurred during fiscal 2014 related to restructuring activities, were included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for each of the respective periods. Refer to Note 9 for more information regarding impairment charges related to restructuring activities. Impairments to long-lived assets are summarized as follows (in thousands): Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Aggregate carrying value of all long-lived assets impaired $ 2,469 $ 26,106 Less impairment charges 2,287 24,766 Aggregate remaining fair value of all long-lived assets impaired $ 182 $ 1,340 The Company’s impairment evaluations included testing of 122 retail locations and 179 retail locations during fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 , respectively, which were deemed to have impairment indicators. The Company concluded that 22 retail locations and 139 retail locations, respectively, were determined to be impaired, as the carrying amounts of the assets exceeded their estimated fair values (determined based on discounted cash flows) at each of the respective dates. Refer to Note 1 for a description of other assumptions that management considers in estimating the future discounted cash flows. If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, there may be additional exposure to future impairment losses that could be material to the Company’s results of operations.

As of January 30, 2016 , the capital lease obligation was $4.0 million . The Company entered into a separate interest rate swap agreement designated as a non-hedging instrument that resulted in a swap fixed rate of 3.55% . This interest rate swap agreement matures on February 1, 2016 and converts the nature of the capital lease obligation from Euribor floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap liability was minimal as of January 30, 2016 . Credit Facilities On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into a five -year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. and the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity in an amount up to $150 million , including a Canadian sub-facility up to $50 million , subject to a borrowing base. Based on applicable accounts receivable, inventory and eligible cash balances as of January 30, 2016 , the Company could have borrowed up to approximately $148 million under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility has an option to expand the borrowing capacity by up to $150 million subject to certain terms and conditions, including the willingness of existing or new lenders to assume such increased amount. The Credit Facility is available for direct borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit, subject to certain letters of credit sublimits, and may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous $300 million credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in July 2016 . No principal or interest was outstanding or accrued and unpaid under the prior credit facility on its termination date. All obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s existing and future domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and such domestic and Canadian subsidiaries , as applicable. Direct borrowings under the Credit Facility made by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries shall bear interest at the U.S. base rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.75% ) or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75% ). The U.S. base rate is based on the greater of (i) the U.S. prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate, plus 0.5% and (iii) LIBOR for a 30 day interest period, plus 1.0% . Direct borrowings under the Credit Facility made by the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries shall bear interest at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.75% ) or at the Canadian BA rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75% ). The Canadian prime rate is based on the greater of (i) the Canadian prime rate, (ii) the Bank of Canada overnight rate, plus 0.5% and (iii) the Canadian BA rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.0% . The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on the average daily availability of the aggregate borrowing base. The Company is also obligated to pay certain commitment, letter of credit and other fees customary for a credit facility of this size and type. As of January 30, 2016 , the Company had $1.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, no outstanding documentary letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio on a trailing four-quarter basis if a default or an event of default occurs under the Credit Facility or if the borrowing capacity falls below certain levels. In addition, the Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to: incur liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, the lenders may cease making loans, terminate the Credit Facility and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Facility specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. The Credit Facility allows for both secured and unsecured borrowings outside of the Credit Facility up to specified amounts. The Company, through its European subsidiaries, maintains short-term uncommitted borrowing agreements, primarily for working capital purposes, with various banks in Europe. The majority of the borrowings under these agreements are secured by specific accounts receivable balances. Based on the applicable accounts receivable balances as of January 30, 2016 , the Company could have borrowed up to $83.3 million under these agreements. As of January 30, 2016 , the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $0.7 million in outstanding documentary letters of credit under these agreements. The agreements are denominated primarily in euros and provide for annual interest rates ranging from 0.4% to 6.8% . The maturities of any short-term borrowings under these arrangements are generally linked to the credit terms of the underlying accounts receivable that secure the borrowings. With the exception of one facility for up to $37.9 million that has a minimum net equity requirement, there are no other financial ratio covenants. Other From time-to-time, the Company will obtain other financing in foreign countries for working capital to finance its local operations. Maturities of capital lease obligations and debt as of January 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Capital Lease Debt Total Fiscal 2017 $ 4,024 $ — $ 4,024 Fiscal 2018 — — — Fiscal 2019 — 492 492 Fiscal 2020 — 1,001 1,001 Fiscal 2021 — 825 825 Thereafter — — — Total $ 4,024 $ 2,318 $ 6,342

That portion of accumulated undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 was approximately $797 million and $772 million , respectively. Actual income tax expense differs from expected income tax expense obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to earnings before income taxes as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Feb 1, 2014 Computed “expected” tax expense $ 44,547 $ 50,053 $ 81,536 State taxes, net of federal benefit 2,320 1,937 2,974 Non-U.S. tax expense less than federal statutory tax rate (1) (6,991 ) (5,955 ) (11,260 ) Valuation reserve (2) 3,024 3,284 1,085 Unrecognized tax benefit 1,123 471 6,856 Prior year tax adjustments (2,944 ) (2,955 ) (3,489 ) Other 1,385 (1,011 ) (2,454 ) Total $ 42,464 $ 45,824 $ 75,248 ________________________________________________________________________ (1) The jurisdictional location of pre-tax income (loss) may represent a significant component of the Company’s effective tax rate as income tax rates outside the U.S. are generally lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate. Furthermore, the impact of changes in the jurisdictional location of pre-tax income (loss) on the Company’s effective tax rate will be greater at lower levels of consolidated pre-tax income (loss). These amounts exclude the impact of net changes in valuation allowances, audit and other adjustments related to the Company’s non-U.S. operations, as they are reported separately in the appropriate corresponding line items in the table above. The impact on the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily related to the Company’s Swiss and Korean subsidiaries which have jurisdictional effective tax rates which range from 10% to 20% lower than the U.S. rates. (2) Amounts relate primarily to net operating losses in emerging markets in Asia and South America for which have full valuation reserves.

As a result of the adoption of this new guidance, the Company reclassified $19.1 million from current to long-term as of January 31, 2015 . Based on the historical earnings of the Company and projections of future taxable earnings, management believes it is more likely than not that the results of operations will not generate sufficient taxable earnings to realize net deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $10.6 million , which is an in crease of $3.1 million from the prior year. As of January 30, 2016 , the Company’s U.S. and certain retail operations in Asia, Europe and Brazil had net operating loss carryforwards of $30.3 million . These are comprised of $8.1 million of operating loss carryforwards that have an unlimited carryforward life, $13.5 million of foreign operating loss carryforwards that expire between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2025 and $8.7 million of state operating loss carryforwards that expire between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2035 . Based on the historical earnings of these operations, management believes that it is more likely than not that some of the operations will not generate sufficient earnings to utilize all of the net operating loss. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the Company had a valuation allowance of $7.9 million and $5.4 million , respectively, related to its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and foreign income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign local jurisdictions. From time-to-time, the Company is subject to routine income tax audits on various tax matters around the world in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal, foreign, state and foreign local income tax matters for years through fiscal 2009 , as of January 30, 2016 , several income tax audits were underway in multiple jurisdictions for various periods after fiscal 2009. The Company does not believe that the resolution of open matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity. The Company accrues an amount for its estimate of additional income tax liability which the Company, more likely than not, could incur as a result of the ultimate resolution of income tax audits (“uncertain tax positions”). The Company reviews and updates the estimates used in the accrual for uncertain tax positions as more definitive information becomes available from taxing authorities, upon completion of tax audits, upon expiration of statutes of limitation, or upon occurrence of other events. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefit (excluding interest and penalties) is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Feb 1, 2014 Beginning balance $ 13,640 $ 10,900 $ 4,527 Additions: Tax positions related to the prior year 496 4,224 — Tax positions related to the current year 1,516 1,722 7,501 Reductions: Tax positions related to the prior year (1,650 ) (55 ) (1,128 ) Tax positions related to the current year (359 ) (91 ) — Settlements (505 ) (599 ) — Expiration of statutes of limitation (553 ) (2,461 ) — Ending balance $ 12,585 $ 13,640 $ 10,900 The amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of January 30, 2016 includes $11.1 million (net of federal benefit on state issues) which, if ultimately recognized, may reduce our future annual effective tax rate. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the Company had $13.9 million and $14.4 million , respectively, of aggregate accruals for uncertain tax positions, including penalties and interest. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company included interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $0.6 million and $0.3 million in net income tax expense for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 , respectively. There were minimal interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions included in net income tax expense for fiscal 2014 . Total interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $1.3 million and $0.7 million for the years ended January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Defined Benefit Postretirement Plans Disclosure [Abstract]
Defined Benefit Plans	Defined Benefit Plans The Company maintains two defined benefit plans for certain employees in the U.S. and Switzerland. In accordance with authoritative guidance for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets; plan assets and obligations that determine the plan’s funded status are measured as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year; and changes in the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans are recognized in the year in which they occur. Such changes are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company’s pension obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial concepts, within the authoritative guidance framework , and are considered Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 20. The Company uses the corridor approach to amortize unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service life of active participants. The life expectancy, estimated retirement age, discount rate, estimated future compensation and expected return on plan assets are important elements of expense and/or liability measurement. These critical assumptions are evaluated annually which enables expected future payments for benefits to be stated at present value on the measurement date. If actual results are not consistent with actuarial assumptions, the amounts recognized for the defined benefit plans could change significantly. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan On August 23, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which became effective January 1, 2006. The SERP provides select employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements with certain benefits upon retirement, termination of employment, death, disability or a change in control of the Company, in certain prescribed circumstances. In fiscal 2014, the Company amended the SERP to limit the amount of eligible wages under the plan that count toward the SERP benefit for the active participant. As a result, the projected benefit obligation and unrecognized prior service cost were reduced by $4.5 million during fiscal 2014. In fiscal 2016, the SERP was amended in connection with Paul Marciano’s transition from Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Creative Officer. This amendment effectively eliminated any future salary progression by finalizing compensation levels for future benefits. Mr. Marciano will continue to be eligible to receive SERP benefits in the future in accordance with the amended terms of the SERP. Subsequent to this amendment, there are no employees considered actively participating under the terms of the SERP. As a result, the Company included an actuarial gain of $11.4 million before taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during fiscal 2016. In addition, the Company also recognized a curtailment gain of $1.7 million before taxes related to the accelerated amortization of the remaining prior service credit during fiscal 2016. As a non-qualified pension plan, no dedicated funding of the SERP is required; however, the Company has made periodic payments into insurance policies held in a rabbi trust to fund the expected obligations arising under the non-qualified SERP. The amount of any future payments into the insurance policies, if any, may vary depending on investment performance of the trust. The cash surrender values of the insurance policies were $52.5 million and $53.6 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively, and were included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As a result of changes in the value of the insurance policy investments, the Company recorded unrealized gains (losses) of $(1.8) million , $2.2 million and $3.6 million in other income and expense during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. During fiscal 2016 , the Company also recorded realized gains of $0.7 million in other income resulting from payout on the insurance policies. The components of net periodic defined benefit pension cost to comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 related to the SERP are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Feb 1, 2014 Interest cost $ 1,986 $ 2,289 $ 2,345 Net amortization of unrecognized prior service (credit) cost (97 ) (233 ) 194 Net amortization of actuarial losses 740 938 1,108 Curtailment gain (1,651 ) — — Net periodic defined benefit pension cost $ 978 $ 2,994 $ 3,647 Unrecognized prior service (credit) cost charged to comprehensive income (loss) $ (97 ) $ (233 ) $ 194 Unrecognized net actuarial loss charged to comprehensive income (loss) 740 938 1,108 Curtailment gain (1,651 ) — — Actuarial gains (losses) 8,707 (6,142 ) 1,751 Plan amendment — — 4,529 Related tax impact (2,945 ) 2,080 (2,963 ) Total periodic defined benefit pension cost and other charges to comprehensive income (loss) $ 4,754 $ (3,357 ) $ 4,619 Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), before tax, as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic defined benefit pension cost (in thousands): Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Unrecognized prior service credit (1) $ — $ (1,748 ) Unrecognized net actuarial loss (1) 8,731 18,178 Total included in accumulated other comprehensive loss $ 8,731 $ 16,430 ________________________________________________________________________ (1) In fiscal 2016, the Company amended the SERP to effectively eliminate any future salary progression by finalizing compensation levels for future benefits. Subsequent to this amendment, there are no employees considered actively participating under the terms of the SERP. As a result, the Company recorded an unrecognized actuarial gain of $11.4 million before taxes and also recognized a curtailment gain of $1.7 million before taxes related to the accelerated amortization of the remaining prior service credit during fiscal 2016. The following chart summarizes the SERP’s funded status and the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Projected benefit obligation (1) $ (53,443 ) $ (61,862 ) Plan assets at fair value (2) — — Net liability $ (53,443 ) $ (61,862 ) ________________________________________________________________________ (1) The projected benefit obligation was included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets depending on the expected timing of payments. (2) The SERP is a non-qualified pension plan and hence the insurance policies are not considered to be plan assets. Accordingly, the table above does not include the insurance policies with cash surrender values of $52.5 million and $53.6 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. A reconciliation of the changes in the projected benefit obligation for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 is as follows (in thousands): Projected Benefit Obligation Balance at February 1, 2014 $ 54,704 Interest cost 2,289 Actuarial losses 6,142 Payments (1,273 ) Balance at January 31, 2015 $ 61,862 Interest cost 1,986 Actuarial gains (8,707 ) Payments (1,698 ) Balance at January 30, 2016 $ 53,443 The Company assumed a discount rate of approximately 3.5% and 3.3% for the years ended January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively, as part of the actuarial valuation performed to calculate the projected benefit obligation disclosed above, based on the timing of cash flows expected to be made in the future to the participants, applied to high quality yield curves. In fiscal 2016, the Company amended the SERP to effectively eliminate any future salary progression by finalizing compensation levels for future benefits. Prior to the amendment, compensation levels utilized in calculating the projected benefit obligation were derived from expected future compensation as outlined in employment contracts in effect at the time. In October 2014, the Society of Actuaries (“SOA”) updated its mortality tables which reflected longer life expectancies than the previous tables. In October 2015, the SOA also issued an update to its mortality improvement scale. The Company considered these updates in developing its best estimate of the expected mortality rates for its plan participants. As of January 30, 2016 , accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included actuarial losses of $0.2 million that are expected to be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic defined benefit pension cost in fiscal 2017 . Aggregate benefits projected to be paid in the next five fiscal years are approximately $ 1.7 million in fiscal 2017 , $ 1.7 million in fiscal 2018 , $1.7 million in fiscal 2019 , $3.7 million in fiscal 2020 and $3.9 million in fiscal 2021 . Aggregate benefits projected to be paid in the following five fiscal years amount to $19.4 million . Swiss Pension Plan In accordance with local regulations, the Company also maintains a pension plan in Switzerland for certain of its employees. The plan is a government-mandated defined contribution plan that provides employees with a minimum investment return determined annually by the Swiss government, and as such, is treated under pension accounting in accordance with authoritative guidance. The minimum investment return was 1.75% during calendar 2015 and calendar 2014. Under the plan, both the Company and certain of its employees with annual earnings in excess of government determined amounts are required to make contributions into a fund managed by an independent investment fiduciary. The Company’s contributions must be made in an amount at least equal to the employee’s contribution. Minimum employee contributions are based on the respective employee’s age, salary and gender. During fiscal 2016 , the Swiss pension plan was amended to update the conversion rate for future periods. As a result, the projected benefit obligation and prior service cost were reduced by CHF 0.2 million (US $0.2 million ) during fiscal 2016 . As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the plan had a projected benefit obligation of CHF 15.6 million (US $15.2 million ) and CHF 13.9 million (US $15.1 million ), respectively, and plan assets held at the independent investment fiduciary of CHF 13.0 million (US $12.7 million ) and CHF 11.5 million (US $12.5 million ), respectively. The net liability of CHF 2.6 million (US $2.5 million ) and CHF 2.4 million (US $2.6 million ) was included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , actuarial assumptions used by the Company to calculate the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plans assets included discount rates of 0.55% and 0.50% , respectively, and expected returns on plan assets of 1.40% and 1.25% , respectively. During fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 , the Company recognized net periodic defined benefit pension cost of CHF 1.7 million (US $1.7 million ) and CHF 1.4 million (US $1.6 million ), respectively, resulting primarily from service cost. During fiscal 2016 , other comprehensive income (loss) included a pre-tax gain of approximately CHF 0.2 million (US $0.2 million ) resulting from the plan amendment which was mostly offset by pre-tax net unrealized actuarial loss and related amortization of approximately CHF 0.2 million (US $0.2 million ). The Company also included a gain from currency translation of approximately $ 0.3 million in comprehensive income (loss) during fiscal 2016 . During fiscal 2015 , the Company included pre-tax net unrealized actuarial loss and related amortization of CHF 2.5 million (US $2.8 million ) in other comprehensive income (loss). As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included CHF 2.3 million (US $2.2 million ) and CHF 2.3 million (US $2.5 million ), respectively, related to the Swiss pension plan which consisted primarily of accumulated unrecognized net actuarial loss, net of taxes. As of January 30, 2016 , accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included actuarial losses of CHF 0.2 million (US $0.2 million ) that are expected to be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic defined benefit pension cost in fiscal 2017 .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions The Company and its subsidiaries periodically enter into transactions with other entities or individuals that are considered related parties, including certain transactions with entities affiliated with trusts for the respective benefit of Paul Marciano, who is an executive and member of the Board of the Company, and Maurice Marciano, Chairman Emeritus and member of the Board, and certain of their children (the “Marciano Trusts”). Leases The Company leases warehouse and administrative facilities, including the Company’s corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, California, from partnerships affiliated with the Marciano Trusts and certain of their affiliates. There were four of these leases in effect as of January 30, 2016 with expiration dates ranging from calendar years 2017 to 2020 . Due to excess capacity, the Company’s corporate headquarters lease was amended in August 2015 to reduce the square footage by 13,070 square feet to 341,739 square feet. The amendment also provided for a corresponding pro-rata reduction in aggregate rent, common area maintenance charges and property tax expense due to the lower square footage. All other terms of the existing corporate headquarters lease remain in full force and effect. In January 2016, the Company sold an approximately 140,000 square foot parking lot located adjacent to the Company’s corporate headquarters to a partnership affiliated with the Marciano Trusts for a sales price of $7.5 million . This amount was included in other receivables in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2016. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease back the parking lot from the purchaser. The lease for the parking lot expires in July 2020 and provides for annual rent of $375,000 with aggregate minimum lease commitments through the term of the lease totaling approximately $1.7 million as of January 30, 2016 , partially offset by the amortization of a deferred gain of approximately $1.2 million . During fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $3.4 million in other income as a result of these transactions. In January 2016, the Company, through a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, amended its existing lease for its warehouse and administrative facilities in Montreal, Quebec with a partnership affiliated with the Marciano Trusts. The amendment extended the term of the existing lease for two years , to December 2017 , with a Company option for a third year . The amendment provides for annual rent of $504,000 Canadian (US $361,000 ) with aggregate minimum lease commitments through the term of the lease totaling approximately $1.0 million Canadian (US $0.7 million ) as of January 30, 2016 . All other terms of the existing lease remain in full force and effect. Aggregate rent, common area maintenance charges and property tax expense recorded under these related party leases for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $5.1 million , $5.8 million and $6.1 million , respectively. The Company believes that the terms of the related party leases and parking lot sale have not been significantly affected by the fact that the parties are related. Refer to Note 14 for more information on lease commitments. Aircraft Arrangements The Company periodically charters aircraft owned by MPM Financial, LLC (“MPM Financial”), an entity affiliated with the Marciano Trusts, through informal arrangements with MPM Financial and independent third party management companies contracted by MPM Financial to manage its aircraft. The total fees paid under these arrangements for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 were approximately $0.6 million , $1.4 million and $0.6 million , respectively. Consulting Arrangement After serving for over 30 years as an executive and leader for Guess?, Inc., co-founder Maurice Marciano retired from his position as executive Chairman of the Board and as an employee of the Company upon the expiration of his employment agreement on January 28, 2012. In connection with his retirement and under the terms of his previously existing employment agreement, the Company and Mr. Marciano entered into a two -year consulting agreement, subsequently extended for a third year (the “Marciano Consulting Agreement”), under which Mr. Marciano provided certain consulting services to the Company. The Marciano Consulting Agreement provided for consulting fees of $500,000 per year and continued automobile use in a manner consistent with past practice. The Marciano Consulting Agreement expired on January 28, 2015 and was not renewed. However, Mr. Marciano continues to serve the Company as a director and the Chairman Emeritus of the Board. The Company elected to continue to provide for automobile use subsequent to the expiration of the term of the Marciano Consulting Agreement based on Mr. Marciano’s continuing substantial contributions to the Company. There were no expenses incurred related to the Marciano Consulting Agreement during fiscal 2016 . Total expenses incurred with respect to the Marciano Consulting Agreement were approximately $0.5 million for each of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 . Other Transactions During 2015, Georges Marciano, brother of Paul Marciano and Maurice Marciano, filed lawsuits against the Company in Canada and the U.S. related primarily to intellectual property rights in the Marciano name. Armand Marciano, also a brother of Paul Marciano and Maurice Marciano, was later added as a plaintiff to the U.S. lawsuit. In addition to the lawsuits, Georges Marciano opposed various of the Company’s applications for registration of its “Marciano” mark. In December 2015, the parties (including all the Marciano brothers) entered into a settlement agreement and a coexistence agreement whereby: (1) Georges Marciano and Armand Marciano agreed to drop all claims and actions against the Company; (2) the Company agreed to pay Georges Marciano and Armand Marciano a sum of $100,000 each (which amounts were substantially reimbursed by insurance); (3) the Company clarified the intellectual property rights of Georges Marciano and Armand Marciano in the use of their respective full names and (4) the parties clarified the Company’s ownership and intellectual property rights in the name “Marciano.” From time-to-time, the Company has utilized a third party agent named Harmony Collection, LLC to produce specific apparel products on behalf of the Company. Armand Marciano is part owner and an executive of the parent company of Harmony Collection, LLC. There were no payments made by the Company under this arrangement during fiscal 2016 . The total payments made by the Company under this arrangement for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 were approximately $1.0 million and $2.2 million , respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company leases its showrooms, advertising, licensing, sales and merchandising offices, remote distribution and warehousing facilities and retail and factory outlet store locations under operating lease agreements expiring on various dates through September 2031 . Some of these leases require the Company to make periodic payments for property taxes, utilities and common area operating expenses. Certain retail store leases provide for rents based upon the minimum annual rental amount and a percentage of annual sales volume, generally ranging from 2% to 12% , when specific sales volumes are exceeded. The Company’s concession leases also provide for rents primarily based upon a percentage of annual sales volume which average approximately 34% of annual sales volume. Some leases include lease incentives, rent abatements and fixed rent escalations, which are amortized and recorded over the initial lease term on a straight-line basis. The Company also leases some of its equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through July 2020 . As discussed in further detail in Note 8 , the Company leases a building in Florence, Italy under a capital lease which provides for minimum lease payments through May 1, 2016. Future minimum property and equipment lease payments under the capital lease and non-cancelable operating leases as of January 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Operating Leases Capital Lease Non-Related Parties Related Parties Total Fiscal 2017 $ 4,065 $ 183,134 $ 4,639 $ 191,838 Fiscal 2018 — 159,758 4,642 164,400 Fiscal 2019 — 139,185 4,346 143,531 Fiscal 2020 — 122,573 4,381 126,954 Fiscal 2021 — 97,558 1,984 99,542 Thereafter — 246,062 — 246,062 Total minimum lease payments $ 4,065 $ 948,270 $ 19,992 $ 972,327 Less interest (41 ) Capital lease obligations $ 4,024 Rental expense for all property and equipment operating leases during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 aggregated $259.1 million , $284.0 million and $283.5 million , respectively, including percentage rent of $53.7 million , $64.7 million and $68.7 million , respectively. Purchase Commitments Inventory purchase commitments as of January 30, 2016 were $208.1 million . These purchase commitments can be impacted by various factors, including the scheduling of market weeks, the timing of issuing orders, the timing of the shipment of orders and currency fluctuations. Accordingly, a comparison of purchase orders from period-to-period is not necessarily meaningful. Incentive Bonuses Certain officers and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. These bonuses are based on performance measures such as earnings per share and earnings from operations of the Company or particular segments thereof, as well as other objective and subjective criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Litigation On May 6, 2009, Gucci America, Inc. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Guess?, Inc. and certain third party licensees for the Company asserting, among other things, trademark and trade dress law violations and unfair competition. The complaint sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, including treble damages, and certain other relief. Complaints similar to those in the above action have also been filed by Gucci entities against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in the Court of Milan, Italy, the Intermediate People’s Court of Nanjing, China and the Court of Paris, France. The three-week bench trial in the U.S. matter concluded on April 19, 2012, with the court issuing a preliminary ruling on May 21, 2012 and a final ruling on July 19, 2012. Although the plaintiff was seeking compensation in the U.S. matter in the form of damages of $26 million and an accounting of profits of $99 million , the final ruling provided for monetary damages of $2.3 million against the Company and $2.3 million against certain of its licensees. The court also granted narrow injunctions in favor of the plaintiff for certain of the claimed infringements. On August 20, 2012, the appeal period expired without any party having filed an appeal, rendering the judgment final. On May 2, 2013, the Court of Milan ruled in favor of the Company in the Milan, Italy matter. In the ruling, the Court rejected all of the plaintiff’s claims and ordered the cancellation of three of the plaintiff’s Italian and four of the plaintiff’s European Community trademark registrations. On June 10, 2013, the plaintiff appealed the Court’s ruling in the Milan matter. On September 15, 2014, the Court of Appeal of Milan affirmed the majority of the lower Court’s ruling in favor of the Company, but overturned the lower Court’s finding with respect to an unfair competition claim. That portion of the matter is now in a damages phase based on the ruling. On October 16, 2015, the plaintiff appealed the remainder of the Court of Appeal of Milan’s ruling in favor of the Company to the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation. In the China matter, the Intermediate People’s Court of Nanjing, China issued a ruling on November 8, 2013 granting an injunction in favor of the plaintiff for certain of the claimed infringements on handbags and small leather goods and awarding the plaintiff statutory damages in the amount of approximately $80,000 . The Company strongly disagrees with the Court’s decision and has appealed the ruling. The judgment in the China matter is stayed pending the appeal, which was heard in May 2014. On January 30, 2015, the Court of Paris ruled in favor of the Company, rejecting all of the plaintiff’s claims and partially canceling two of the plaintiff’s community trademark registrations and one of the plaintiff’s international trademark registrations. On February 17, 2015, the plaintiff appealed the Court of Paris’ ruling. On August 25, 2006, Franchez Isaguirre, a former employee of the Company, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles alleging violations by the Company of California wage and hour laws. The complaint was subsequently amended, adding a second former employee as an additional named party. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of similarly situated employees in California who allegedly had been injured by not being provided adequate meal and rest breaks. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, statutory penalties, attorney’s fees and injunctive and declaratory relief. On June 9, 2009, the Court certified the class but immediately stayed the case pending the resolution of a separate California Supreme Court case on the standards of class treatment for meal and rest break claims. Following the Supreme Court ruling, the Superior Court denied the Company’s motions to decertify the class and to narrow the class in January 2013 and June 2013, respectively. The Company subsequently petitioned to have the Court’s decision not to narrow the class definition reviewed. That petition was ultimately denied by the California Supreme Court in April 2014. In July 2015, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to settle the matter for $5.25 million , subject to certain limited offsets. The Court issued a final order and judgment approving the settlement in February 2016. The Company has received customs tax assessment notices from the Italian Customs Agency regarding its customs tax audit of one of the Company’s European subsidiaries for the period from July 2010 through December 2012 . Such assessments totaled €9.8 million ( $10.6 million ), including potential penalties and interest. The Company strongly disagrees with the positions that the Italian Customs Agency has taken and therefore filed appeals with the Milan First Degree Tax Court (“MFDTC”). In May 2015, the MFDTC issued a judgment in favor of the Company in relation to the first set of appeals (covering the period through September 2010 ) and canceled the related assessments totaling €1.7 million ( $1.8 million ). In November 2015, the Italian Customs Agency notified the Company of its intent to appeal this first MFDTC judgment. In February 2016, the MFDTC issued a judgment in favor of the Company in relation to the second set of appeals (covering the period from October 2010 through December 2010 ) and canceled the related assessments totaling €1.2 million ( $1.3 million ). While the first two MFDTC judgments were favorable to the Company, there can be no assurances that the Company’s remaining appeals for January 2011 through December 2012 will be successful. There also can be no assurances that the Italian Customs Agency will not be successful in its appeal of the first MFDTC judgment or that they will not appeal the second favorable MFDTC judgment. It also continues to be possible that the Company will receive similar or even larger assessments for periods subsequent to December 2012 or other claims or charges related to the matter in the future. Although the Company believes that it has a strong position and will continue to vigorously defend each of the remaining matters, it is unable to predict with certainty whether or not these efforts will ultimately be successful or whether the outcomes will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is also involved in various other claims and other matters incidental to the Company’s business, the resolutions of which are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests The Company is party to a put arrangement with respect to the common securities that represent the remaining noncontrolling interest from the acquisition of its majority-owned subsidiary, Guess Sud SAS (“Guess Sud”). The put arrangement for Guess Sud, representing 40% of the total outstanding equity interest of that subsidiary, may be exercised at the discretion of the noncontrolling interest holders by providing written notice to the Company any time after January 30, 2012 . The put arrangement is recorded on the balance sheet at its expected redemption value based on a method which approximates fair value and classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity. The redemption value of the Guess Sud redeemable put arrangement was $3.7 million and $3.4 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company is also party to a put arrangement with respect to the common securities that represent the remaining noncontrolling interest for its majority-owned subsidiary, Guess Brasil Comércio e Distribuição S.A. (“Guess Brazil”), which was established through a majority-owned joint venture during fiscal 2014. The put arrangement for Guess Brazil, representing 40% of the total outstanding equity interest of that subsidiary, may be exercised at the discretion of the noncontrolling interest holder by providing written notice to the Company beginning in the sixth year of the agreement, or sooner in certain limited circumstances, and every third anniversary from the end of the sixth year thereafter subject to certain time restrictions. The redemption value of the Guess Brazil put arrangement is based on a multiple of Guess Brazil’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization subject to certain adjustments. The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to Guess Brazil was $0.7 million and $1.0 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. In December 2015, the Company entered into a new majority-owned joint venture to establish Guess? CIS, LLC (“Guess CIS”) which is based in Russia. The Company made an initial contribution of $2.0 million to obtain a 70% interest in Guess CIS and is subject to a put arrangement with respect to the common securities that represent the remaining noncontrolling interest. The put arrangement may be exercised at the discretion of the noncontrolling interest holder by providing written notice to the Company during the period beginning after the fifth anniversary of the agreement through December 31, 2025 , or sooner in certain limited circumstances. The redemption value of the Guess CIS put arrangement is based on a multiple of Guess CIS’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization subject to certain adjustments. The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to Guess CIS was $0.9 million as of January 30, 2016 . A reconciliation of the total carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Beginning balance $ 4,437 $ 5,830 Foreign currency translation adjustment (476 ) (788 ) Noncontrolling interest capital contribution 871 — Redeemable noncontrolling interest redemption value adjustment 420 (605 ) Ending balance $ 5,252 $ 4,437

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Savings Plans	Savings Plans The Company established the Guess?, Inc. Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Savings Plan, employees (“associates”) may contribute up to 100% of their compensation per year subject to the elective limits as defined by IRS guidelines and the Company may make matching contributions in amounts not to exceed 3.0% of the associates’ annual compensation. Investment selections consist of mutual funds and do not include any Company common stock. The Company’s contributions to the Savings Plan amounted to $1.3 million for each of fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 . Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted a Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”). Under the DCP, select employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements and members of the Board of Directors may make annual irrevocable elections to defer a portion of their base compensation and/or bonuses. The deferred amounts and earnings thereon are payable to participants at specified future distribution dates, upon termination of employment, retirement, disability, death or change in control of the Company, in a lump sum or installments, pursuant to elections under the rules of the DCP. The participants to the DCP have an unsecured contractual commitment by the Company to pay the amounts due under the DCP. The Company has purchased corporate-owned life insurance, which is held in a rabbi trust, to offset this liability. The assets held in the rabbi trust are not available for general corporate purposes except in the event of bankruptcy of the Company. During fiscal 2016 , the Company made contributions of $1.5 million to the DCP. All earnings and expenses of the rabbi trust are reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in other income and expense. For fiscal 2016 , 2015 and fiscal 2014 , the Company incurred unrealized gains (losses) of $(0.7) million , $0.3 million and $0.6 million , respectively, related to the change in the value of the insurance policy investments. During fiscal 2016 , the Company also recorded realized gains of $0.3 million in other income resulting from payout on the insurance policies. The deferred compensation liability as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 was $10.2 million and $9.1 million , respectively, and was included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets depending on the expected timing of payments. The related long-term asset as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 was $10.5 million and $9.4 million , respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company’s reportable business segments and respective accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenues and earnings (loss) from operations before restructuring charges, if any. Corporate overhead, restructuring charges, interest income, interest expense and other income and expense are evaluated on a consolidated basis and not allocated to the Company’s business segments. Segment information is summarized as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Feb 1, 2014 Net revenue: Americas Retail (1) $ 981,942 $ 1,032,601 $ 1,075,475 Europe 727,144 825,136 903,791 Asia 241,571 281,090 292,714 Americas Wholesale (1) 149,797 167,707 179,600 Licensing 103,857 111,139 118,206 Total net revenue $ 2,204,311 $ 2,417,673 $ 2,569,786 Earnings (loss) from operations: Americas Retail (1) $ 16,222 $ (13,734 ) $ 39,540 Europe 55,438 66,231 97,231 Asia 10,448 8,013 25,592 Americas Wholesale (1) 27,525 34,173 38,771 Licensing 92,172 101,288 107,805 Corporate Overhead (80,455 ) (70,059 ) (73,910 ) Restructuring Charges — — (12,442 ) Total earnings from operations $ 121,350 $ 125,912 $ 222,587 Capital expenditures: Americas Retail (1) $ 26,384 $ 30,704 $ 29,980 Europe 13,869 22,930 30,994 Asia 6,265 7,150 7,150 Americas Wholesale (1) 2,854 4,958 4,870 Licensing 27 16 39 Corporate Overhead 34,445 5,740 2,405 Total capital expenditures $ 83,844 $ 71,498 $ 75,438 Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Total assets: Americas Retail (1) $ 276,920 $ 279,903 Europe 693,469 690,294 Asia 149,006 146,292 Americas Wholesale (1) 195,054 274,996 Licensing 16,100 9,933 Corporate Overhead 208,199 199,987 Total assets $ 1,538,748 $ 1,601,405 _______________________________________________________________________ (1) In fiscal 2016, the Company changed the names of its “North American Retail” and “North American Wholesale” segments to “Americas Retail” and “Americas Wholesale” to better reflect that these segments are inclusive of its operations in North America as well as Central and South America.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation Share-Based Compensation Plans The Company has four share-based compensation plans. The Guess?, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides that the Board of Directors may grant stock options and other equity awards to officers, key employees and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Effective May 20, 2014, the Plan was amended to extend the term for an additional ten years and reduce the authorized issuance of shares from 20,000,000 shares of common stock to 15,000,000 shares of common stock. The amendment also extended the ability for the Company to grant certain performance-based awards under the Plan through the beginning of calendar year 2019 . All other remaining provisions under the Plan remained in full force and effect. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , there were 4,967,390 and 6,593,723 shares available for grant under the Plan, respectively. Stock options granted under the Plan have ten -year terms and typically vest and become fully exercisable in increments of one-fourth of the shares granted on each anniversary from the date of grant. Stock awards/units granted under the Plan typically vest in increments of one-fourth of the shares granted on each anniversary from the date of grant. The three most recent annual grants for stock options and other equity awards had initial vesting periods of nine months followed by three annual vesting periods. The Guess?, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows for qualified employees to participate in the purchase of designated shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price at the beginning or end of each quarterly stock purchase period. The Guess?, Inc. 2006 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Grant and Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) provides for the grant of equity awards to non-employee directors. The Director Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock which consists of 1,000,000 shares that were initially approved for issuance on July 30, 1996 plus an additional 1,000,000 shares that were approved for issuance effective May 9, 2006. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , there were 768,425 and 827,463 shares available for grant under this plan, respectively. In addition, the Guess?, Inc. 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, under which equity grants have not been permitted since the approval of the Plan in 2004, continues to govern outstanding awards previously made thereunder. Performance Awards The Company has granted certain nonvested stock awards/units and stock options that require the recipient to achieve certain minimum performance targets in order for these awards to vest. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. If the minimum performance targets are not expected to be achieved, no expense is recognized during the period. On July 7, 2015, the Company granted certain nonvested stock units to Victor Herrero, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in connection with a new employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Herrero (the “Herrero Employment Agreement”). The nonvested stock units are scheduled to vest in increments of one-fourth of the shares granted on each anniversary from the date of grant and were subject to the achievement of certain performance-based vesting conditions during the last two quarters of fiscal 2016 as well as continued service requirements through each of the vesting periods. The Company has granted certain nonvested stock units to Paul Marciano, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Creative Officer, in connection with an employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Marciano during fiscal 2014. Each award of nonvested stock units has an initial vesting period from the date of the grant through the end of the first fiscal year followed by two annual vesting periods. The nonvested stock units are subject to the achievement of certain performance-based vesting conditions during the first fiscal year of the grant as well as continued service requirements through each of the vesting periods. The Company has also granted a target number of nonvested stock units to Mr. Marciano in connection with his employment agreement. The number of shares that may ultimately vest with respect to each award will equal 0% to 150% of the target number of shares, subject to the achievement of certain performance-based vesting conditions during the first fiscal year of the grant as well as continued service requirements through the vesting date. Any shares that are ultimately issued are scheduled to vest at the end of the third fiscal year following the grant date. Market-Based Awards The Company has also granted certain nonvested stock units which are subject to market-based performance targets in order for these units to vest. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. The grant date fair value for such nonvested stock units was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates option-pricing inputs covering the period from the grant date through the end of the performance period. Compensation expense for such nonvested stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. On May 1, 2015, the Company granted a target of 183,368 nonvested stock units to Mr. Marciano in connection with his employment agreement. The number of shares that may ultimately vest will equal 0% to 150% of the target number of shares, subject to the performance of the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of a select group of peer companies over a three-year period. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. Any shares that are ultimately issued are scheduled to vest in fiscal 2019 . The fair value of the above market-based nonvested stock units was estimated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: Year Ended Valuation Assumptions Jan 30, 2016 Risk-free interest rate 0.9 % Expected stock price volatility 38.6 % Expected dividend yield — % Expected life of market-based awards (in years) 2.8 The weighted average grant date fair value of market-based awards granted during fiscal 2016 was $17.72 . Contingently Returnable Restricted Stock Awards On July 7, 2015, the Company also granted 150,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Herrero in connection with the Herrero Employment Agreement. These restricted stock units vested immediately but are considered contingently returnable as a result of a one-year implied service condition set forth in the Herrero Employment Agreement. Compensation expense for these restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the implied service period. Share-Based Compensation Expense Compensation expense for nonvested stock options and stock awards/units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to share-based compensation as opposed to recognizing forfeitures as an expense reduction as they occur. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense recognized under all of the Company’s stock plans during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Feb 1, 2014 Stock options $ 2,113 $ 2,106 $ 2,490 Stock awards/units 16,604 12,999 11,225 ESPP 163 237 234 Total share-based compensation expense $ 18,880 $ 15,342 $ 13,949 Stock options The following table summarizes the stock option activity under all of the Company’s stock plans during fiscal 2016 : Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Options outstanding at January 31, 2015 1,817,131 $ 30.61 Granted 1,288,400 19.26 Exercised (20,600 ) 15.52 Forfeited (306,687 ) 25.54 Expired — — Options outstanding at January 30, 2016 2,778,244 $ 26.02 7.05 $ 162 Exercisable at January 30, 2016 1,488,871 $ 30.37 5.28 $ 43 Options exercisable and expected to vest at January 30, 2016 2,545,265 $ 26.55 6.84 $ 142 The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 : Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Valuation Assumptions Jan 30, 2016 Jan 31, 2015 Feb 1, 2014 Risk-free interest rate 1.0 % 0.8 % 0.5 % Expected stock price volatility 36.7 % 36.1 % 39.7 % Expected dividend yield 4.7 % 3.3 % 3.0 % Expected life of stock options (in years) 3.8 3.7 3.7 The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The expected stock price volatility is determined based on an average of both historical volatility and implied volatility. Implied volatility is derived from exchange traded options on the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectations of dividend payouts. The expected life is determined based on historical trends. The expected forfeiture rate is determined based on historical data. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $3.75 , $5.99 and $6.38 during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $0.1 million , $0.9 million and $2.2 million , respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options is defined as the difference between the Company’s stock price on the exercise date and the grant date exercise price. The total cash received from option exercises was $0.3 million , $1.2 million and $5.0 million during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. The excess tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises included in cash flows from financing activities was minimal for fiscal 2016 . The excess tax shortfall of $0.4 million was included in cash flows from operating activities for fiscal 2016 . The compensation expense included in SG&A expense recognized was $2.1 million before the recognized income tax benefit of $0.8 million during fiscal 2016 . As of January 30, 2016 , there was approximately $4.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years . Stock awards/units The following table summarizes the nonvested stock awards/units activity under all of the Company’s stock plans during fiscal 2016 : Number of Shares/Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at January 31, 2015 991,587 $ 28.71 Granted 1,256,972 18.79 Vested (570,701 ) 24.55 Forfeited (295,725 ) 26.56 Nonvested at January 30, 2016 1,382,133 $ 21.87 The following table summarizes the activity for nonvested performance-based units included in the table above during fiscal 2016 : Number of Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at January 31, 2015 413,834 $ 29.66 Granted 425,866 19.39 Vested (100,000 ) 29.47 Forfeited (159,700 ) 27.86 Nonvested at January 30, 2016 580,000 $ 22.65 The weighted average grant date fair value for the total nonvested stock awards/units granted was $18.79 , $28.12 and $28.34 during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. The total fair value at grant date of previously nonvested stock awards/units that were vested during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was $14.0 million , $13.0 million and $9.0 million , respectively. During fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , the total intrinsic value of nonvested stock awards/units that vested was $11.0 million , $9.9 million and $8.3 million , respectively. The excess tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from vested shares and dividends paid on unvested shares for fiscal 2016 was $0.2 million and has been included in cash flows from financing activities for fiscal 2016 . The excess tax shortfall of $1.0 million was included in cash flows from operating activities for fiscal 2016 . The total intrinsic value of nonvested stock awards/units outstanding and unvested as of January 30, 2016 was $25.6 million . The compensation expense included in SG&A expense recognized during fiscal 2016 was $16.6 million before the recognized income tax benefit of $6.1 million . As of January 30, 2016 , there was approximately $19.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock awards/units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years . ESPP In January 2002, the Company established a n ESPP , the terms of which allow for qualified employees (as defined) to participate in the purchase of designated shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price at the beginning or end of each quarterly stock purchase period. Prior to March 4, 2009, the ESPP was a straight purchase plan with no holding period requirement. Effective March 4, 2009, the ESPP was amended to require participants to hold any shares purchased under the ESPP after April 1, 2009 for a minimum period of six months after purchase. In addition, all Company employees are subject to the terms of the Company’s securities trading policy which generally prohibits the purchase or sale of any Company securities during the two weeks before the end of each fiscal quarter through two days after the public announcement by the Company of its earnings for that period. On January 23, 2002, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering 4,000,000 shares of common stock for the ESPP. Effective March 12, 2012, the ESPP was amended and restated to extend the term for an additional ten years. During fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , 40,846 shares, 47,538 shares and 43,265 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued pursuant to the ESPP at an average price of $16.17 , $21.20 and $22.64 per share, respectively. The fair value of stock compensation expense associated with the Company’s ESPP was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Authoritative guidance defines fair value 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. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows: Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date. Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e. interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs would be based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at Jan 30, 2016 Fair Value Measurements at Jan 31, 2015 Recurring Fair Value Measures Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Foreign exchange currency contracts $ — $ 9,797 $ — $ 9,797 $ — $ 15,542 $ — $ 15,542 Available-for-sale securities 17 — — 17 36 — — 36 Total $ 17 $ 9,797 $ — $ 9,814 $ 36 $ 15,542 $ — $ 15,578 Liabilities: Foreign exchange currency contracts $ — $ 366 $ — $ 366 $ — $ — $ — $ — Interest rate swap — 37 — 37 — 270 — 270 Deferred compensation obligations — 10,155 — 10,155 — 9,133 — 9,133 Total $ — $ 10,558 $ — $ 10,558 $ — $ 9,403 $ — $ 9,403 There were no transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of fair value hierarchy during fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 . The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted prices. The fair value of the interest rate swap is based upon inputs corroborated by observable market data. Foreign exchange currency contracts are entered into by the Company principally to hedge the future payment of inventory and intercompany transactions by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Periodically, the Company may also use foreign exchange currency contracts to hedge the translation and economic exposures related to its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries . The fair values of the Company’s foreign exchange currency contracts are based on quoted foreign exchange forward rates at the reporting date. Deferred compensation obligations to employees are adjusted based on changes in the fair value of the underlying employee-directed investments. Fair value of these obligations is based upon inputs corroborated by observable market data. Available-for-sale securities, which consist of marketable equity securities, are recorded at fair value and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , available-for-sale securities were minimal. Unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, are included as a component of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the accumulated unrealized losses , net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to available-for-sale securities owned by the Company were minimal. During fiscal 2015 , the Company received proceeds of $0.6 million from the sale of marketable equity securities which were classified as available-for-sale securities. The cost of securities sold was based on the specific identification method. Gains recognized during fiscal 2015 were $0.1 million as a result of this sale and were included in other income. The carrying amount of the Company’s remaining financial instruments, which principally include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments (see Note 8) are based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. As of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the carrying value of all financial instruments was not materially different from fair value , as the interest rates on the Company’s debt approximated rates currently available to the Company.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments Hedging Strategy Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts The Company operates in foreign countries, which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the risk of foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for certain of these hedges. The Company’s primary objective is to hedge the variability in forecasted cash flows due to the foreign currency risk. Various transactions that occur primarily in Europe, Canada, South Korea and Mexico are denominated in U.S. dollars and British pounds and thus are exposed to earnings risk as a result of exchange rate fluctuations when converted to their functional currencies. These types of transactions include U.S. dollar denominated purchases of merchandise and U.S. dollar and British pound denominated intercompany liabilities. In addition, certain operating expenses, tax liabilities and pension-related liabilities are denominated in Swiss francs and are exposed to earnings risk as a result of exchange rate fluctuations when converted to the functional currency . The Company enters into derivative financial instruments , including forward exchange currency contracts, to offset some but not all of the exchange risk on certain of these anticipated foreign currency transactions. Periodically, the Company may also use foreign exchange currency contracts to hedge the translation and economic exposures related to its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries . The impact of the credit risk of the counterparties to the derivative contracts is considered in determining the fair value of the foreign exchange currency contracts. As of January 30, 2016 , credit risk has not had a significant effect on the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The principal objective of this contract is to eliminate or reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate capital lease obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. As of January 30, 2016, this agreement was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements not designated as hedging instruments are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense. For fiscal 2016 , the Company recorded a net gain of $0.2 million in other income related to the interest rate swap. Refer to Note 8 for further information. Hedge Accounting Policy U.S. dollar forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these U.S. dollar forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are recognized in cost of product sales in the period which approximates the time the hedged merchandise inventory is sold. The Company also hedges forecasted intercompany royalties over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these U.S. dollar forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are recognized in other income and expense in the period in which the royalty expense is incurred. The Company has also used U.S. dollar forward contracts to hedge the net investments of certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these U.S. dollar forward contracts, designated as net investment hedges, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are not recognized in earnings until the sale or liquidation of the hedged net investment . The Company also has foreign exchange currency contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of foreign exchange currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense. Summary of Derivative Instruments The fair value of derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 is as follows (in thousands): Derivative Balance Sheet Location Fair Value at Jan 30, 2016 Fair Value at Jan 31, 2015 ASSETS: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Cash flow hedges: Foreign exchange currency contracts Other current assets/ Other assets $ 7,491 $ 6,597 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange currency contracts Other current assets 2,306 8,945 Total $ 9,797 $ 15,542 LIABILITIES: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Cash flow hedges: Foreign exchange currency contracts Accrued expenses/ Other long-term liabilities $ 47 $ — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange currency contracts Accrued expenses 319 — Interest rate swap Accrued expenses/ Other long-term liabilities 37 270 Total derivatives not designated as hedging instruments 356 270 Total $ 403 $ 270 Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges During fiscal 2016 , the Company purchased U.S. dollar forward contracts in Europe and Canada totaling US $134.0 million and US $73.7 million , respectively, to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and intercompany royalties that were designated as cash flow hedges.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Mortgage Debt On February 16, 2016 , the Company entered into a ten -year $21.5 million real estate secured loan (the “ Mortgage Debt ”). The Mortgage Debt is secured by the Company’s U.S. distribution center based in Louisville, Kentucky and provides for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 25 -year amortization schedule, with the remaining principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. Outstanding principal balances under the Mortgage Debt bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.5% . The Mortgage Debt requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio on a trailing four-quarter basis if consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short term investment balances fall below certain levels. In addition, the Mortgage Debt contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur liens on the mortgaged property and enter into certain contractual obligations. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Debt , the lender may terminate the Mortgage Debt and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Mortgage Debt specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. On February 16, 2016 , the Company also entered into a separate interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge, that resulted in a swap fixed rate of approximately 3.06% . This interest rate swap agreement matures in January 2026 and converts the nature of the Mortgage Debt from LIBOR floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Dividends On March 16, 2016 , the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per share on the Company’s common stock. The cash dividend will be paid on April 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 30, 2016 . Restructuring In March 2016, the Company initiated a global cost reduction and restructuring plan to better align our global cost and organizational structure with our current strategic initiatives. We plan to consolidate and streamline our business processes, and reduce our global workforce and other expenses. In connection with this plan, we expect to incur cash restructuring charges of approximately $ 7 million to $ 12 million , after tax, which we anticipate will be incurred in the first three quarters of fiscal 2017. The Company’s assessment of the costs associated with the restructuring-related activities is still ongoing and actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates as plans evolve, details are finalized and negotiations are completed.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52 / 53 -week fiscal year calendar, which ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 of each year. All references herein to “fiscal 2016 ,” “fiscal 2015 ” and “fiscal 2014 ” represent the results of the 52 -week fiscal years ended January 30, 2016 , January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 , respectively. References to “fiscal 2017 ” represent the 52 -week fiscal year ending January 28, 2017.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications The Company has made certain reclassifications to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results from operations or net cash provided by operating activities.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guess?, Inc., its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and its non wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, all references herein to “Guess?, Inc.” include the consolidated results of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its joint ventures. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated during the consolidation process.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the accounts receivable allowances, sales return allowances, gift card and loyalty accruals, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation, recoverability of deferred taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, the useful life of assets for depreciation and amortization, evaluation of asset impairment, pension obligations, workers compensation and medical self-insurance expense and accruals, litigation reserves and restructuring expense and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Segment Reporting	Business Segment Reporting Where applicable, the Company reports information about business segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s businesses are grouped into five reportable segments for management and internal financial reporting purposes: Americas Retail , Europe , Asia , Americas Wholesale and Licensing . In fiscal 2016, the Company changed the names of its “North American Retail” and “North American Wholesale” segments to “Americas Retail” and “Americas Wholesale” to better reflect that these segments are inclusive of its operations in North America as well as Central and South America. There have been no changes to the underlying reporting in either segment. The Company’s operating segments are the same as its reportable segments. Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenues and earnings (loss) from operations before restructuring charges, if any. The Company believes this segment reporting reflects how its five business segments are managed and how each segment’s performance is evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. The Americas Retail segment includes the Company’s retail and e-commerce operations in North and Central America and its retail operations in South America. The Europe segment includes the Company’s wholesale, retail and e-commerce operations in Europe and the Middle East. The Asia segment includes the Company’s retail, e-commerce and wholesale operations in Asia. The Americas Wholesale segment includes the Company’s wholesale operations in the Americas. The Licensing segment includes the worldwide licensing operations of the Company. The business segment operating results exclude corporate overhead costs, which consist of shared costs of the organization, and restructuring charges. These costs are presented separately and generally include, among other things, the following unallocated corporate costs: accounting and finance, executive compensation, facilities, global advertising and marketing, human resources, information technology and legal. Information regarding these segments is summarized in Note 17 .
Revenue Recognition - General	Revenue Recognition General The Company recognizes retail operations revenue at the point of sale and wholesale operations revenue from the sale of merchandise when products are shipped and the customer takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is reasonably assured, pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Revenue from our e-commerce operations, including shipping fees, is recognized based on the estimated customer receipt date. The Company accrues for estimated sales returns and other allowances in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. To recognize the financial impact of sales returns, the Company estimates the amount of goods that will be returned based on historical experience and reduces sales and cost of sales accordingly . Sales taxes and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted directly to governmental authorities are excluded from net revenues.
Net Royalty Revenue	Net Royalty Revenue Royalty revenue is based upon a percentage, as defined in the underlying agreement, of the licensee’s actual net sales or minimum net sales, whichever is greater. The Company may receive special payments in consideration of the grant of license rights. These payments are recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the license agreement. The unrecognized portion of upfront payments is included in deferred royalties in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities depending on the short or long-term nature of the payments to be recognized.
Gift Cards	Gift Cards Gift card breakage is income recognized due to the non-redemption of a portion of gift cards sold by the Company for which a liability was recorded in prior periods. Gifts cards are mainly used in the U.S. and Canada. The Company issues gift cards through one of its subsidiaries and is not required by law to escheat the value of unredeemed gift cards to the state in which the subsidiary is domiciled. Estimated breakage amounts are accounted for under the redemption recognition method and are classified as additional net revenues as the gift cards are redeemed. The Company’s gift card breakage rate is approximately 5.4% and 4.6% for the U.S. retail business and Canadian retail business, respectively, based upon historical redemption patterns, which represents the cumulative estimated amount of gift card breakage from the inception of the electronic gift card program in late 2002. Based upon historical redemption trends, the Company recognizes estimated gift card breakage as a component of net revenue in proportion to actual gift card redemptions, over the period that remaining gift card values are redeemed. In fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , the Company recognized $0.5 million , $1.1 million and $0.8 million of gift card breakage to revenue, respectively. Any future revisions to the estimated breakage rate may result in changes in the amount of breakage income recognized in future periods.
Loyalty Programs	Loyalty Programs The Company launched customer loyalty programs primarily in North America for its GUESS? factory outlet, G by GUESS, GUESS? and MARCIANO stores . Under the programs, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty program member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. In all of the programs, unredeemed points generally expire after six months without additional purchase activity and unredeemed awards generally expire after two months. The Company uses historical redemption rates to estimate the value of future award redemptions which are accrued in current liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net revenue in the period which the related revenue is recognized. The aggregate dollar value of the loyalty program accruals included in accrued expenses was $4.6 million and $4.5 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , respectively. Future revisions to the estimated liability may result in changes to net revenue .
Classification of Certain Costs and Expenses	Classification of Certain Costs and Expenses The Company includes inbound freight charges, purchasing costs and related overhead, retail store occupancy costs, including rent and depreciation, and a portion of the Company’s distribution costs related to its retail business in cost of product sales. Distribution costs related primarily to the wholesale business are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and amounted to $24.2 million , $28.8 million and $31.7 million for fiscal 2016 , fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 , respectively. The Company also includes store selling, selling and merchandising, advertising, design and other corporate overhead costs as a component of SG&A expenses. The Company classifies amounts billed to customers for shipping fees as revenues and classifies costs related to shipping as cost of product sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Advertising and Marketing Costs	Advertising and Marketing Costs The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based awards granted based on the grant date fair value. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and involves several assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rate . The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The expected stock price volatility is determined based on an average of both historical volatility and implied volatility. Implied volatility is derived from exchange traded options on the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectations of dividend payouts. The expected life is determined based on historical trends. The expected forfeiture rate is determined based on historical data. Compensation expense for nonvested stock options and stock awards/units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In addition, the Company has granted certain nonvested stock awards/units and stock options that require the recipient to achieve certain minimum performance targets in order for these awards to vest. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. If the minimum performance targets are not expected to be achieved, no expense is recognized during the period. The Company has also granted certain nonvested stock units which are subject to market-based performance targets in order for these units to vest. Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. The grant date fair value for such nonvested stock units was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates option-pricing inputs covering the period from the grant date through the end of the performance period. Compensation expense for such nonvested stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. During fiscal 2016, the Company granted certain restricted stock units which vested immediately but are considered contingently returnable as a result of certain service conditions. Compensation expense for these restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the implied service period.
Foreign Currency - Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses	Foreign Currency Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment The local selling currency is typically the functional currency for all of the Company’s significant international operations. In accordance with authoritative guidance, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Company records foreign currency translation adjustments related to its noncontrolling interests within stockholders’ equity. Periodically, the Company may also use foreign exchange currency contracts to hedge the translation and economic exposures related to its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries (see below). Changes in the fair values of these foreign exchange currency contracts, designated as net investment hedges, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. The total foreign currency translation adjustment de creased stockholders’ equity by $37.7 million , from an accumulated foreign currency translation loss of $124.4 million as of January 31, 2015 to an accumulated foreign currency translation loss of $162.1 million as of January 30, 2016 . Foreign Currency Transaction Gains and Losses Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, including gains and losses on foreign currency contracts (see below), are included in the consolidated statements of income.
Derivatives	Derivatives Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts The Company operates in foreign countries, which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Various transactions that occur primarily in Europe, Canada, South Korea and Mexico are denominated in U.S. dollars and British pounds and thus are exposed to earnings risk as a result of exchange rate fluctuations when converted to their functional currencies. These types of transactions include U.S. dollar denominated purchases of merchandise and U.S. dollar and British pound denominated intercompany liabilities. In addition, certain operating expenses, tax liabilities and pension-related liabilities are denominated in Swiss francs and are exposed to earnings risk as a result of exchange rate fluctuations when converted to the functional currency . The Company has entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the risk of a portion of these anticipated foreign currency transactions against foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with authoritative guidance for certain of these hedges. The Company does not hedge all transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Company may also hedge the translation and economic exposures related to its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of the U.S. dollar/euro and U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar forward contracts for anticipated U.S. dollar merchandise purchases designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are recognized in cost of product sales in the period which approximates the time the hedged merchandise inventory is sold. Changes in the fair value of U.S. dollar/euro forward contracts for U.S. dollar intercompany royalties designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are recognized in other income and expense in the period in which the royalty expense is incurred. Changes in the fair value of any U.S. dollar/euro dollar forward contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are not recognized in earnings until the sale or liquidation of the hedged net investment . The Company also has forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its floating-rate debt. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis. The principal objective of this contract is to eliminate or reduce the variability of the cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s floating-rate capital lease obligation, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. As of January 30, 2016, this agreement was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements not designated as hedging instruments are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company also follows authoritative guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share represents net earnings attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include restricted stock units with forfeitable dividend rights that have been classified as issued and outstanding but are considered contingently returnable as a result of certain service conditions. These restricted stock units are considered common equivalent shares outstanding and are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation until the respective service conditions have been met. Diluted earnings per share represents net earnings attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. However, nonvested restricted stock awards (referred to as participating securities) are excluded from the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares outstanding in accordance with authoritative guidance under the two-class method since the nonvested restricted stockholders are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common stock as if the shares were fully vested and hence are deemed to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, earnings attributable to nonvested restricted stockholders are excluded from net earnings attributable to common stockholders for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share. However, net losses are not allocated to nonvested restricted stockholders since they are not contractually obligated to share in the losses of the Company. In addition, the Company has granted certain nonvested stock units that are subject to certain performance-based or market-based vesting conditions as well as continued service requirements through the respective vesting periods. These nonvested stock units are included in the computation of diluted net earnings per common share attributable to common stockholders only to the extent that the underlying performance-based or market-based vesting conditions are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period, or would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period, and the results would be dilutive under the treasury stock method.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and defined benefit plan impact from actuarial valuation gains or losses and related amortization, plan amendment, prior service credit or cost amortization and curtailment. Comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities The Company accounts for its investment securities in accordance with authoritative guidance which requires investments to be classified into one of three categories based on management’s intent: held-to-maturity securities, available-for-sale securities and trading securities. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at their amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Trading securities are recorded at market value with unrealized gains and losses reported in net earnings. The appropriate classification of investment securities is determined at the time of purchase and reevaluated at each balance sheet date. The Company currently accounts for its investment securities as available-for-sale. There were minimal investment securities included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2016 . The Company periodically evaluates investment securities for impairment using both qualitative and quantitative criteria such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market value.
Concentration of Credit and Liquidity Risk	Concentration of Credit and Liquidity Risk Cash used primarily for working capital purposes is maintained with various major financial institutions. The Company performs evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions in order to limit the amount of asset and liquidity exposure with any institution. Excess cash and cash equivalents, which represent the majority of the Company’s outstanding cash and cash equivalents balance, are held primarily in overnight deposit and short-term time deposit accounts and a diversified money market fund. The money market fund is AAA rated by national credit rating agencies and is generally comprised of high-quality, liquid investments. The Company is also exposed to concentrations of credit risk through its accounts receivable balances. The Company extends credit to corporate customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history and generally requires no collateral but does obtain credit insurance when considered appropriate. As of January 30, 2016 , approximately 55% of the Company’s total net trade accounts receivable and 70% of its European net trade receivables were subject to credit insurance coverage, certain bank guarantees or letters of credit for collection purposes. The Company’s credit insurance coverage contains certain terms and conditions specifying deductibles and annual claim limits. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that result from the inability of its wholesale customers to make their required payments. The Company bases its allowances on analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the financial statements, assessments of historical collection trends, an evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions and whether the Company has obtained credit insurance or other guarantees. The Company’s corporate customers are principally located throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia, and their ability to pay amounts due to the Company may be dependent on the prevailing economic conditions of their geographic region. However, such credit risk is considered limited due to the Company’s large customer base. Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (primarily weighted average method) or market. The Company continually evaluates its inventories by assessing slow moving product as well as prior seasons’ inventory. Market value of aged inventory is estimated based on historical sales trends for each product line category, the impact of market trends, an evaluation of economic conditions, available liquidation channels and the value of current orders relating to the future sales of this type of inventory.
Depreciation and Amortization	Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, which includes depreciation of the property under the capital lease, and purchased intangibles are provided using the straight-line method over the following useful lives: Building and building improvements including properties under capital lease 10 to 39 years Land improvements 5 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 2 to 10 years Purchased intangibles 4 to 20 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease, unless the renewal is reasonably assured. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the related asset is completed and placed in service.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company considers each individual retail location as an asset group for impairment testing, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. The asset group includes leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, computer hardware and software and certain long-term security deposits and lease acquisition costs. The Company reviews retail locations in penetrated markets for impairment risk once the locations have been opened for at least one year in their current condition, or sooner as changes in circumstances require. The Company believes that waiting one year allows a retail location to reach a maturity level where a more comprehensive analysis of financial performance can be performed. The Company evaluates impairment risk for retail locations in new markets, where the Company is in the early stages of establishing its presence, once the locations have been opened for at least two years . The Company believes that waiting two years allows for brand awareness to be established. The Company also evaluates impairment risk for retail locations that are expected to be closed in the foreseeable future. An asset is considered to be impaired if the Company determines that the carrying value may not be recoverable based upon its assessment of the asset’s ability to continue to generate earnings from operations and positive cash flow in future periods or if significant changes in the Company’s strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets occurred. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows. The impairment loss calculations require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows and the discount rates that reflect the risk inherent in future cash flows. Future expected cash flows for assets in retail locations are based on management’s estimates of future cash flows over the remaining lease period or expected life, if shorter. For expected retail location closures, the Company will evaluate whether it is necessary to shorten the useful life for any of the assets within the respective asset group. The Company will use this revised useful life when estimating the asset group’s future cash flows. The Company considers historical trends, expected future business trends and other factors when estimating the future cash flow for each retail location. The Company also considers factors such as: the local environment for each retail location, including mall traffic and competition; the Company’s ability to successfully implement strategic initiatives; and the ability to control variable costs such as cost of sales and payroll and, in some cases, renegotiate lease costs. The estimated cash flows used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered a Level 3 input as defined in Note 20 . If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, there may be additional exposure to future impairment losses that could be material to the Company’s results of operations . See Note 5 for further details on asset impairments.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level which may be either an operating segment or one level below an operating segment if discrete financial information is available. Two or more reporting units within an operating segment may be aggregated for impairment testing if they have similar economic characteristics. The Company has identified its Americas Retail and Americas Wholesale segments and its European wholesale and European retail components of its Europe segment as separate reporting units for goodwill impairment testing since each have different economic characteristics. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company first assesses qualitative factors relevant in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units are less than their carrying amounts. Based on this analysis, the Company determines whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of any impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit is determined using two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 20 . These inputs include selection of an appropriate discount rate and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill and other intangibles over the implied fair value. The implied fair value is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with authoritative guidance.
Other Assets	Other Assets Other assets mainly relate to the Company’s investments in insurance policies held in rabbi trusts to fund expected obligations arising under its non-qualified supplemental executive retirement and deferred compensation plans. Refer to Notes 12 and 15 for further information regarding these investments. In addition, other assets also relate to security and key money deposits to secure prime retail store locations, investments treated under the equity or cost method of accounting and receivables related to refundable value-added tax payments mainly from European taxing authorities.
Defined Benefit Plans	Defined Benefit Plans In accordance with authoritative guidance for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets; plan assets and obligations that determine the plan’s funded status are measured as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year; and changes in the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans are recognized in the year in which they occur. Such changes are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company’s pension obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial concepts, within the authoritative guidance framework , and are considered Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 20. The Company uses the corridor approach to amortize unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service life of active participants. The life expectancy, estimated retirement age, discount rate, estimated future compensation and expected return on plan assets are important elements of expense and/or liability measurement. These critical assumptions are evaluated annually which enables expected future payments for benefits to be stated at present value on the measurement date. If actual results are not consistent with actuarial assumptions, the amounts recognized for the defined benefit plans could change significantly.
Deferred Rent and Lease Incentives	Deferred Rent and Lease Incentives When a lease includes lease incentives (such as a rent holiday) or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and the difference between the average rental amount charged to expense and amounts payable under the lease is included in deferred rent and lease incentives in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For construction allowances, the Company records a deferred lease credit on the consolidated balance sheets and amortizes the deferred lease credit as a reduction of rent expense in the consolidated statements of income over the term of the leases.
Litigation Reserves	Litigation Reserves Estimated amounts for claims that are probable and can be reasonably estimated are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The likelihood of a material change in these estimated reserves would be dependent on new claims as they may arise and the expected probable favorable or unfavorable outcome of each claim. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to new claims and existing claims and revises estimates as appropriate. As new claims arise or existing claims evolve, such revisions in estimates of the potential liability could materially impact the results of operations and financial position.
New Accounting Guidance	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations. Under this new guidance, a discontinued operation is (1) a component of an entity or group of components that have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale and represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. This guidance also requires expanded or new disclosures for discontinued operations, individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation, an entity’s continuing involvement with a discontinued operation following disposal and retained equity method investments in a discontinued operation. The Company adopted this guidance effective February 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 . In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires additional disclosures if certain criteria are met. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as long-term on the balance sheet . The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and accordingly has classified its net deferred tax assets as long-term in its consolidated balance sheets as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 . Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard which will supersede previous existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard creates a five-step model for revenue recognition that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering contract terms and relevant facts and circumstances. The five-step model includes (1) identifying the contract, (2) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation has been satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding revenue recognition. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional authoritative guidance to provide clarification on principal versus agent considerations included within the new revenue recognition standard. The standard (including the clarification guidance issued in March 2016) is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019, and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the choice of application method upon adoption. In February 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring such costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and requires retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which would permit an entity to measure its defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the calendar month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal period-end for interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and requires prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides clarification on accounting for cloud computing arrangements which include a software license. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and allows for either prospective or retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018, and requires prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In September 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017, and requires prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires equity investments not accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidation accounting to be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. This guidance also addresses other recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019, and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new lease standard which will supersede previous lease guidance. The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities related to long-term leases that were classified as operating leases under previous guidance in its balance sheet. An asset would be recognized related to the right to use the underlying asset and a liability would be recognized related to the obligation to make lease payments over the term of the lease. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding leases. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020, and requires modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects there will be a significant increase in its long-term assets and liabilities resulting from the adoption.

Furthermore, the impact of changes in the jurisdictional location of pre-tax income (loss) on the Company’s effective tax rate will be greater at lower levels of consolidated pre-tax income (loss). These amounts exclude the impact of net changes in valuation allowances, audit and other adjustments related to the Company’s non-U.S. operations, as they are reported separately in the appropriate corresponding line items in the table above. The impact on the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily related to the Company’s Swiss and Korean subsidiaries which have jurisdictional effective tax rates which range from 10% to 20% lower than the U.S. rates.

[1]	The jurisdictional location of pre-tax income (loss) may represent a significant component of the Company’s effective tax rate as income tax rates outside the U.S. are generally lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate. Furthermore, the impact of changes in the jurisdictional location of pre-tax income (loss) on the Company’s effective tax rate will be greater at lower levels of consolidated pre-tax income (loss). These amounts exclude the impact of net changes in valuation allowances, audit and other adjustments related to the Company’s non-U.S. operations, as they are reported separately in the appropriate corresponding line items in the table above. The impact on the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily related to the Company’s Swiss and Korean subsidiaries which have jurisdictional effective tax rates which range from 10% to 20% lower than the U.S. rates.
[2]	Amounts relate primarily to net operating losses in emerging markets in Asia and South America for which have full valuation reserves.

[1]	In fiscal 2016, the Company amended the SERP to effectively eliminate any future salary progression by finalizing compensation levels for future benefits. Subsequent to this amendment, there are no employees considered actively participating under the terms of the SERP. As a result, the Company recorded an unrecognized actuarial gain of $11.4 million before taxes and also recognized a curtailment gain of $1.7 million before taxes related to the accelerated amortization of the remaining prior service credit during fiscal 2016.
[2]	The projected benefit obligation was included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets depending on the expected timing of payments.
[3]	The SERP is a non-qualified pension plan and hence the insurance policies are not considered to be plan assets. Accordingly, the table above does not include the insurance policies with cash surrender values of $52.5 million and $53.6 million as of January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015, respectively.
