Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. At February 3, 2018, the Company operated in one reportable segment. The Company exited its 77kids brand in 2012. These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of 77kids as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “Fiscal 2018” refers to the 52-week period ending February 2, 2019. “Fiscal 2017” refers to the 53-week period ended February 3, 2018. “Fiscal 2016” and “Fiscal 2015” refer to the 52-week periods ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, respectively. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, our management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases Leases Foreign Currency Translation In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters Comprehensive Income Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the Company held no short-term investments. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding cash and cash equivalents and investments. Merchandise Inventory Merchandise inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market, utilizing the retail method. Average cost includes merchandise design and sourcing costs and related expenses. The Company records merchandise receipts at the time which both title and risk of loss for the merchandise transfers to the Company. The Company reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally uses markdowns to clear merchandise. Additionally, the Company estimates a markdown reserve for future planned permanent markdowns related to current inventory. Markdowns may occur when inventory exceeds customer demand for reasons of style, seasonal adaptation, changes in customer preference, lack of consumer acceptance of fashion items, competition, or if it is determined that the inventory in stock will not sell at its currently ticketed price. Such markdowns may have a material adverse impact on earnings, depending on the extent and amount of inventory affected. The Company also estimates a shrinkage reserve for the period between the last physical count and the balance sheet date. The estimate for the shrinkage reserve, based on historical results, can be affected by changes in merchandise mix and changes in actual shrinkage trends. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded on the basis of cost with depreciation computed utilizing the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The useful lives of our major classes of assets are as follows: Buildings 25 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of 10 years or the term of the lease Fixtures and equipment 5 years Information technology 3-5 years As of February 3, 2018, the weighted average remaining useful life of our assets is approximately 8.1 years. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment During Fiscal 2016, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairment charges of $20.6 million that included $7.2 million for the impairment of all Company owned retail stores in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China. This amount is included within impairment and restructuring charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges were the result of business performance and exploring an initiative to convert these markets to licensed partnerships. Retail stores in these markets no longer are able to generate sufficient cash flow over the expected remaining lease term to recover the carrying value of the respective stores’ assets. Additionally, the Company recorded $10.8 million of impairment charges related to non-store corporate assets that support the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China Company owned retail store and e-commerce operations and $2.5 million of goodwill impairment for the China and Hong Kong retail operations. When the Company closes, remodels or relocates a store prior to the end of its lease term, the remaining net book value of the assets related to the store is recorded as a write-off of assets within depreciation and amortization expense. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding property and equipment and Note 15 for additional information regarding impairment charges. Goodwill The Company’s goodwill is primarily related to the acquisition of its importing operations, Canadian, Hong Kong and China businesses and the acquisition of Tailgate and Todd Snyder. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded on the basis of cost with amortization computed utilizing the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The Company’s intangible assets, which primarily include trademark assets, are amortized over 15 to 25 years. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350 when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Such an evaluation includes the estimation of undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by those assets. If the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amounts of the assets, then the assets are impaired and are adjusted to their estimated fair value. No intangible asset impairment charges were recorded for all periods presented. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding intangible assets. Deferred Lease Credits Deferred lease credits represent the unamortized portion of construction allowances received from landlords related to the Company’s retail stores. Construction allowances are generally comprised of cash amounts received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records a receivable and a deferred lease credit liability at the lease commencement date (date of initial possession of the store). The deferred lease credit is amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the original lease (including the pre-opening build-out period). The receivable is reduced as amounts are received from the landlord. Self-Insurance Liability The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms for certain losses related to employee medical benefits and worker’s compensation. Costs for self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based on known claims and historical experience. Management believes that it has adequately reserved for its self-insurance liability, which is capped through the use of stop loss contracts with insurance companies. However, any significant variation of future claims from historical trends could cause actual results to differ from the accrued liability. Co-branded Credit Card The Company offers a co-branded credit card (the “AEO Visa Card”) and a private label credit card (the “AEO Credit Card”) under the AEO and Aerie brands. These credit cards are issued by a third-party bank (the “Bank”) in accordance with a credit card agreement (“the Agreement”). The Company has no liability to the Bank for bad debt expense, provided that purchases are made in accordance with the Bank’s procedures. We receive funding from the Bank based on the Agreement and card activity, which includes payments for new account activations and usage of the credit cards. We recognize revenue for this funding when the amounts are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. This revenue is recorded in other revenue, which is a component of total net revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Retained Earnings. Once a customer is approved to receive the AEO Visa Card or the AEO Credit Card and the card is activated, the customer is eligible to participate in the customer loyalty program offered by the Company. For further information on the Company’s loyalty program, refer to the Customer Loyalty Program caption below. Customer Loyalty Program The Company recently launched a new, highly digitized loyalty program called AEO Connected TM ® Points earned under the Program on purchases at AE and Aerie are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements Income Taxes The Company calculates income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company evaluates its income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. Under ASC 740, a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The calculation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as the decision to recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain position and to establish a valuation allowance require management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, although actual results may have a positive or negative material impact on the balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities, valuation allowances or net income. The Company has included the estimated impact of the recently enacted U.S. Tax Act in our financial results for the period ended February 3, 2018. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued interpretive guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Our future results could include additional adjustments, and those adjustments could be material. Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information . Revenue Recognition Revenue is recorded for store sales upon the purchase of merchandise by customers. The Company’s e-commerce operation records revenue upon the estimated customer receipt date of the merchandise. Shipping and handling revenues are included in total net revenue. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and is included as part of accrued income and other taxes on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue is recorded net of estimated and actual sales returns and deductions for coupon redemptions and other promotions. The Company records the impact of adjustments to its sales return reserve quarterly within total net revenue and cost of sales. The sales return reserve reflects an estimate of sales returns based on projected merchandise returns determined through the use of historical average return percentages. For the Years Ended February 3, January 28, January 30, (In thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Beginning balance $ 3,639 $ 3,349 $ 3,249 Returns (103,393 ) (97,126 ) (90,719 ) Provisions 104,471 97,416 90,819 Ending balance $ 4,717 $ 3,639 $ 3,349 Revenue is not recorded on the purchase of gift cards. A current liability is recorded upon purchase, and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed for merchandise. Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue on unredeemed gift cards based on an estimate of the amounts that will not be redeemed (“gift card breakage”), determined through historical redemption trends. Gift card breakage revenue is recognized in proportion to actual gift card redemptions as a component of total net revenue. For further information on the Company’s gift card program, refer to the Gift Cards caption below. The Company recognizes royalty revenue generated from its license or franchise agreements based upon a percentage of merchandise sales by the licensee/franchisee. This revenue is recorded as a component of total net revenue when earned. Cost of Sales, Including Certain Buying, Occupancy and Warehousing Expenses Cost of sales consists of merchandise costs, including design, sourcing, importing and inbound freight costs, as well as markdowns, shrinkage and certain promotional costs (collectively "merchandise costs") and buying, occupancy and warehousing costs. Design costs are related to the Company's Design Center operations and include compensation, travel and entertainment, supplies and samples for our design teams, as well as rent and depreciation for our Design Center. These costs are included in cost of sales as the respective inventory is sold. Buying, occupancy and warehousing costs consist of compensation, employee benefit expenses and travel and entertainment for our buyers and certain senior merchandising executives; rent and utilities related to our stores, corporate headquarters, distribution centers and other office space; freight from our distribution centers to the stores; compensation and supplies for our distribution centers, including purchasing, receiving and inspection costs; and shipping and handling costs related to our e-commerce operation. Gross profit is the difference between total net revenue and cost of sales. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and employee benefit expenses, including salaries, incentives and related benefits associated with our stores and corporate headquarters. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include advertising costs, supplies for our stores and home office, communication costs, travel and entertainment, leasing costs and services purchased. Selling, general and administrative expenses do not include compensation, employee benefit expenses and travel for our design, sourcing and importing teams, our buyers and our distribution centers as these amounts are recorded in cost of sales. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses do not include rent and utilities related to our stores, operating costs of our distribution centers, and shipping and handling costs related to our e-commerce operations. Advertising Costs Certain advertising costs, including direct mail, in-store photographs and other promotional costs are expensed when the marketing campaign commences. As of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the Company had prepaid advertising expense of $6.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively. All other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recognized $129.8 million, $124.5 million and $104.1 million in advertising expense during Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, respectively. Store Pre-Opening Costs Store pre-opening costs consist primarily of rent, advertising, supplies and payroll expenses. These costs are expensed as incurred. Other (Expense) Income, Net Other (expense) income, net consists primarily of allowances for uncollectible receivables, foreign currency transaction gain/loss, interest income/expense and realized investment gains/losses. Gift Cards The value of a gift card is recorded as a current liability upon purchase and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed for merchandise. The Company estimates gift card breakage and recognizes revenue in proportion to actual gift card redemptions as a component of total net revenue. The Company determines an estimated gift card breakage rate by continuously evaluating historical redemption data and the time when there is a remote likelihood that a gift card will be redeemed. The Company recorded gift card breakage of $10.1 million, $9.1 million and $8.2 million during Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, respectively. Legal Proceedings and Claims The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising out of the conduct of its business.

Fair Value Measurements	4. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Disclosures Financial Instruments Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, ASC 820 establishes this three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets. • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In accordance with ASC 820, the following tables represent the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets (cash equivalents) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017: Fair Value Measurements at February 3, 2018 (In thousands) Carrying Amount Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Cash and cash equivalents Cash $ 184,107 $ 184,107 Interest bearing deposits 174,577 174,577 — — Commercial paper 54,929 54,929 — — Total cash and cash equivalents $ 413,613 413,613 — — Percent to total 100.0 % 100.0 % — — Fair Value Measurements at January 28, 2017 (In thousands) Carrying Amount Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Cash and cash equivalents Cash $ 265,332 $ 265,332 $ — $ — Interest bearing deposits 83,281 83,281 — — Commercial paper 30,000 30,000 — — Total cash and cash equivalents $ 378,613 $ 378,613 $ — $ — Percent to total 100.0 % 100.0 % — — In the event the Company holds Level 3 investments, a discounted cash flow model is used to value those investments. There were no Level 3 investments at February 3, 2018 or January 28, 2017. Non-Financial Assets The Company’s non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required and the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial instrument for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial asset be recorded at the estimated fair value. During Fiscal 2016, the Company concluded the goodwill was impaired for the Hong Kong and China businesses, resulting in a $2.5 million charge included within impairment and restructuring charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the performance of those businesses and the Company’s exploration of alternatives, including the licensing of these markets to third-party operators. All other goodwill for the Company was not impaired as a result of the annual goodwill impairment test. Certain long-lived assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820. During Fiscal 2017, the Company recorded no asset impairment charges. During Fiscal 2016, certain long-lived assets related to the Company’s retail stores, goodwill and corporate assets were determined to be unable to recover their respective carrying values and were written down to their fair value, resulting in a loss of $20.6 The fair value of the Company’s stores was determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows and discounting them using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on its experience and knowledge of the market in which the store is located.

Additionally, approximately 0.9 million, 0.1 million, and 0.7 million of performance-based restricted stock awards for Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016, and Fiscal 2015, respectively, were not included in the computation of weighted average diluted common share amounts because the number of shares ultimately issued is contingent on the Company’s performance compared to pre-established performance goals.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	10. Leases The Company leases all store premises, some of its office space and certain information technology and office equipment. The store leases generally have initial terms of 10 years and are classified as operating leases. Most of these store leases provide for base rentals and the payment of a percentage of sales as additional contingent rent when sales exceed specified levels. Additionally, most leases contain construction allowances and/or rent holidays. In recognizing landlord incentives and minimum rent expense, the Company amortizes the items on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including the pre-opening build-out period). A summary of fixed minimum and contingent rent expense for all operating leases follows: For the Years Ended February 3, January 28, January 30, (In thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Store rent: Fixed minimum $ 298,458 $ 286,850 $ 282,300 Contingent 9,566 8,519 9,035 Total store rent, excluding common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes and certain other expenses $ 308,025 $ 295,369 $ 291,335 Offices, distribution facilities, equipment and other 26,960 18,172 16,063 Total rent expense $ 334,985 $ 313,541 $ 307,398 In addition, the Company is typically responsible under its store, office and distribution center leases for tenant occupancy costs, including maintenance costs, common area charges, real estate taxes and certain other expenses.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Payments	12. Share-Based Payments The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation ASC 718 requires recognition of compensation cost under a non-substantive vesting period approach for awards containing provisions that accelerate or continue vesting upon retirement. Accordingly, for awards with such provisions, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if that is expected to occur during the nominal vesting period. Additionally, for awards granted to retirement eligible employees, the full compensation cost of an award must be recognized immediately upon grant. At February 3, 2018, the Company had awards outstanding under two share-based compensation plans, which are described below. Share-based compensation plans 2017 Stock Award and Incentive Plan The 2017 Plan was approved by the stockholders on May 23, 2017. The 2017 Plan authorized 11.2 million shares for issuance, in the form of options, stock appreciation rights (“SARS”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock and awards, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other stock based awards. The 2017 Plan provides that for awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) (i) the maximum number of shares awarded to any individual may not exceed 3.0 million shares per year for options and SARS and (ii) no more than 1.5 million shares may be granted with respect to each of restricted shares of stock and restricted stock units (subject to certain adjustments and exceptions provided therein). The 2017 Plan allows the Compensation Committee of the Board to determine which employees receive awards and the terms and conditions of the awards under the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan provides for grants to directors who are not officers or employees of the Company, which are not to exceed in value $750,000 in any single fiscal year. Through February 3, 2018, approximately 1.4 million shares of restricted stock and approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock had been granted under the 2017 Plan to employees and directors. Approximately 1% of the restricted stock awards are performance-based and are earned if the established performance goals are met. The remaining 99% of the restricted stock awards are time-based and 97% vest ratably over three years and 3% vest over a period of one to two years. 2014 Stock Award and Incentive Plan The 2014 Plan was approved by the stockholders on May 29, 2014. The 2014 Plan authorized 11.5 million shares for issuance, in the form of options, SARS, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock and awards, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other stock based awards. The 2014 Plan provides that the maximum number of shares awarded to any individual may not exceed 4.0 million shares per year for options and SARS and no more than 1.5 million shares may be granted with respect to each of restricted shares of stock and restricted stock units (subject to certain adjustments and exceptions provided therein). The 2014 Plan allows the Compensation Committee of the Board to determine which employees receive awards and the terms and conditions of the awards under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for grants to directors who are not officers or employees of the Company, which are not to exceed in value $300,000 in any single calendar year ($500,000 in the first year a person becomes a non-employee director). Through February 3, 2018, approximately 6.3 million shares of restricted stock and approximately 2.6 million shares of common stock had been granted under the 2014 Plan to employees and directors. Approximately 60% of the restricted stock awards are performance-based and are earned if the established performance goals are met. The remaining 40% of the restricted stock awards are time-based and 89% vest ratably over three years, 5% vest ratably over two years and 6% cliff vest in three years. After May 23, 2017, no new awards may be granted under the 2014 plan and all outstanding awards at that time continued in force and operation in accordance with their respective terms. Stock Option Grants The Company has granted both time-based and performance-based stock options under the 2014 and 2017 Plans. Time-based stock option awards vest over the requisite service period of the award or to an employee’s eligible retirement date, if earlier. Performance-based stock option awards vest over three years and are earned if the Company meets pre-established performance goals during each year. A summary of the Company’s stock option activity under all plans for Fiscal 2017 follows: For the Year Ended February 3, 2018 Weighted- Average Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Aggregate Options Exercise Price Term Intrinsic Value (In thousands) (In years) (In thousands) Outstanding - January 28, 2017 2,314 $ 15.33 Granted 1,055 $ 14.59 Exercised (1) (242 ) $ 14.28 Cancelled (937 ) $ 14.85 Outstanding - February 3, 2018 2,190 $ 14.59 5.6 4,979 Vested and expected to vest - February 3, 2018 2,047 $ 14.28 5.6 4,635 Exercisable - February 3, 2018 (2) 429 $ 14.85 5.2 784 ( 1 ) Options exercised during Fiscal 2017 ranged in price from $11.60 to $15.45. ( 2 ) Options exercisable represent “in-the-money” vested options based upon the weighted average exercise price of vested options compared to the Company’s stock price at February 3, 2018. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016 was $3.84 and $3.55, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 was $0.2 million, $3.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options and the actual tax benefit realized from share-based payments was $3.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for Fiscal 2017. Cash received from the exercise of stock options and the actual tax benefit realized from share-based payments was $16.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for Fiscal 2016. Cash received from the exercise of stock options and the actual tax benefit realized from share-based payments was $7.3 million and $(0.5) million, respectively, for Fiscal 2015. The fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: For the Years Ended February 3, January 28, Black-Scholes Option Valuation Assumptions 2018 2017 Risk-free interest rates (1) 2.1% 1.3% Dividend yield 3.1% 3.0% Volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock (2) 38.5% 35.4% Weighted-average expected term (3) 4.5 years 4.4 years ( 1 ) Based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected life of our stock options. ( 2 ) Based on a combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and implied volatility. ( 3 ) Represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average expected option terms were determined based on historical experience. As of February 3, 2018, there was $4.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock option awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. Restricted Stock Grants Time-based restricted stock awards are comprised of time-based restricted stock units. These awards vest over three years. Time-based restricted stock units receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional time-based restricted stock units, which are subject to the same restrictions and forfeiture provisions as the original award. Performance-based restricted stock awards include performance-based restricted stock units. These awards cliff vest at the end of a three-year period based upon the Company’s achievement of pre-established goals throughout the term of the award. Performance-based restricted stock units receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional performance-based restricted stock units, which are subject to the same restrictions and forfeiture provisions as the original award. The grant date fair value of all restricted stock awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A summary of the activity of the Company’s restricted stock is presented in the following tables: Time-Based Restricted Stock Units Performance-Based For the year ended For the year ended February 3, 2018 February 3, 2018 (Shares in thousands) Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested - January 28, 2017 2,001 $ 15.39 2,825 $ 15.07 Granted 1,497 11.63 703 14.52 Vested (1,006 ) 15.13 (957 ) 14.14 Cancelled/Forfeited (303 ) 13.02 (433 ) 15.80 Nonvested - February 3, 2018 2,189 13.27 2,138 15.16 As of February 3, 2018, there was $15.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested time-based restricted stock unit awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Retirement Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan	13. Retirement Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company maintains a profit sharing and 401(k) plan (the “Retirement Plan”). Under the provisions of the Retirement Plan, full-time employees and part-time employees are automatically enrolled to contribute 3% of their salary if they have attained 20½ years of age. In addition, full-time employees need to have completed 60 days of service and part-time employees must complete 1,000 hours worked to be eligible. Individuals can decline enrollment or can contribute up to 50% of their salary to the 401(k) plan on a pretax basis, subject to IRS limitations. After one year of service, the Company will match 100% of the first 3% of pay plus an additional 25% of the next 3% of pay that is contributed to the plan. Contributions to the profit sharing plan, as determined by the Board, are discretionary. The Company recognized $10.6 million, $9.8 million and $10.6 million in expense during Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015, respectively, in connection with the Retirement Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is a non-qualified plan that covers all full-time employees and part-time employees who are at least 18 years old and have completed 60 days of service. Contributions are determined by the employee, with the Company matching 15% of the investment up to a maximum investment of $100 per pay period.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	14. Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code including reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and requiring a mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings of U.S. owned foreign subsidiaries (“Transition Tax”). The Tax Act also adopts elements of a modified territorial tax system, revises the rules governing foreign tax credits, and permits certain capital expenditures to be expensed immediately, as well as modifying or repealing many deductions and credits. Certain changes became effective for Fiscal 2017, while others become effective for Fiscal 2018. As a result of the Tax Act, the Company recorded an estimated tax benefit of $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017 consisting of: • a $3.5 million charge on previously undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017, net of estimated tax credits • a $12.1 million benefit on the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax reserves to the lower base federal corporate tax rate of 21% • a $3.5 million benefit of a lower blended U.S. corporate tax rate as reflected in the starting point of the effective tax rate reconciliation table below In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued interpretive guidance under SAB 118 that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The estimated tax impacts of the Transition Tax, re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and other items are recorded as provisional amounts in accordance with SAB 118. Given the significant complexity of the Tax Act, anticipated guidance from the Internal Revenue Service on implementing the Tax Act, and the potential for additional guidance from the SEC or the FASB related to the Tax Act or additional information becoming available, the Company’s provisional net benefit may be adjusted during 2018 within the allowable measurement period. Other provisions of the Tax Act that impact future tax years are still being assessed. The Fiscal 2017 impact of the Tax Act is reflected in the tables below. The components of income before income taxes from continuing operations were: For the Years Ended February 3, January 28, January 30, (In thousands) 2018 2017 2016 U.S. $ 255,621 $ 315,199 $ 289,697 Foreign 31,552 20,063 32,174 Total $ 287,173 $ 335,262 $ 321,871 The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows: February 3, January 28, (In thousands) 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Rent $ 20,753 $ 27,843 Net operating loss 9,232 5,364 Inventories 8,900 10,693 Deferred compensation 7,698 24,042 State tax credits 7,492 6,574 Accruals not currently deductible 5,631 8,613 Foreign tax credits 3,123 22,269 Employee compensation and benefits 1,599 13,206 Other 4,936 9,380 Gross deferred tax assets 69,364 127,984 Valuation allowance (7,096 ) (7,266 ) Total deferred tax assets $ 62,268 $ 120,718 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment $ (46,165 ) $ (63,546 ) Prepaid Expenses $ (3,736 ) $ (5,079 ) Other (3,023 ) (2,843 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (52,924 ) $ (71,468 ) Total deferred tax assets, net $ 9,344 $ 49,250 The net decrease in deferred tax assets and liabilities was primarily due to decreases in the deferred tax assets for foreign tax credit carryovers, deferred compensation and employee compensation and benefits, partially offset by a decrease in the deferred tax liability for property and equipment basis differences. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign net operating loss carryovers of $2.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively that could be utilized to reduce future years’ tax liabilities. A portion of these net operating loss carryovers begin expiring in the year 2018 and some have an indefinite carryforward period. Management believes it is more likely than not that the foreign net operating loss carryovers will not reduce future years’ tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. As such a valuation allowance of $7.1 million has been recorded on the deferred tax assets related to the cumulative foreign net operating loss carryovers. The Company has foreign tax credit carryovers in the amount of $3.1 million and $22.3 million as of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, respectively. The foreign tax credit carryovers begin to expire in Fiscal 2020 to the extent not utilized. No valuation allowance has been recorded on the foreign tax credit carryovers as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the foreign tax credits will be utilized prior to expiration. The Company has state income tax credit carryforwards of $7.5 million (net of federal tax) and $6.6 million (net of federal tax) as of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, respectively. These income tax credits can be utilized to offset future state income taxes and have a carryforward period of 10 to 16 years. They will begin to expire in Fiscal 2023. Significant components of the provision for income taxes from continuing operations were as follows: For the Years Ended February 3, January 28, January 30, (In thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Current: Federal $ 31,763 $ 93,961 $ 86,122 Foreign taxes 3,404 3,168 3,836 State 9,600 11,137 13,032 Total current 44,767 108,266 102,990 Deferred: Federal $ 36,345 $ 12,057 $ 5,606 Foreign taxes (1,130 ) (268 ) (1,977 ) State 3,028 2,758 1,961 Total deferred 38,243 14,547 5,590 Provision for income taxes $ 83,010 $ 122,813 $ 108,580 The Company previously considered the earnings in its foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, recorded no deferred income taxes. Under the Tax Act, the Company recorded an estimated Transition Tax payable of $3.5 million, net of estimated tax credits, on approximately $42.9 million of previously undistributed foreign earnings. The Company is currently analyzing the tax liability, if any, under the Tax Act for its remaining outside basis differences in its foreign subsidiaries and assessing how the Tax Act will impact the Company's prior assertion of indefinite reinvestment. The Company has yet to determine whether it plans to change its prior assertion and repatriate earnings. As such, no change has been made with respect to the assertion of indefinite reinvestment for the year ended February 3, 2018. The Company will record the tax effects of any change in its prior assertion in the period that it completes its analysis and is able to make a reasonable estimate, and disclose any unrecognized deferred tax liability related to its foreign investments, if practicable. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits: For the Years Ended (In thousands) February 3, 2018 January 28, 2017 January 30, 2016 Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of the year balance $ 7,093 $ 5,748 $ 12,609 Increases in current period tax positions 1,913 1,884 2,727 Increases in tax positions of prior periods 624 464 — Settlements (744 ) — — Lapse of statute of limitations (517 ) (362 ) (516 ) Decreases in tax positions of prior periods (1,083 ) (641 ) (9,072 ) Unrecognized tax benefits, end of the year balance $ 7,286 $ 7,093 $ 5,748 As of February 3, 2018, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $7.3 million, of which $6.6 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized. The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 28, 2017 was $7.1 million, of which $5.8 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized. Unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.2 million during Fiscal 2017, increased by $1.3 million during Fiscal 2016 and decreased by $6.9 million during Fiscal 2015. Over the next twelve months the Company believes it is reasonably possible the unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $4.8 million as a result of federal and state tax settlements, statute of limitations lapses, and other changes to the reserves. The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet were $1.0 million and $1.4 million as of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, respectively. An immaterial amount of interest and penalties were recognized in the provision for income taxes during Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The company participates in the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”). As part of the CAP, tax years are audited on a real-time basis so that all or most issues are resolved prior to the filing of the federal tax return. The IRS has completed examinations under CAP through January 28, 2017, for which the majority of the issues have been resolved. The Company does not anticipate that any adjustments will result in a material change to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the United States, with limited exceptions, generally, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for tax years before 2011. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result from these years. A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate from continuing operations follows: For the Years Ended February 3, January 28, January 30, 2018 2017 2016 Federal income tax rate 33.7 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes, net of federal income tax effect 2.9 2.8 3.1 Foreign rate differential (1.9 ) (1.7 ) (1.6 ) Impact of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (3.0 ) 0.0 0.0 Valuation allowance changes, net (0.2 ) 0.4 (1.1 ) Change in unrecognized tax benefits 0.3 0.4 (1.5 ) Other (2.9 ) (0.3 ) (0.2 ) 28.9 % 36.6 % 33.7 %

In connection with the exit of the 77kids business, the Company became secondarily liable for obligations under lease agreements for 21 store leases assumed by the third-party purchaser. In Fiscal 2014, the third-party purchaser did not fulfill its obligations under the leases, resulting in the Company becoming primarily liable. The Company was required to make rental and lease termination payments and received reimbursement from the $11.5 million stand-by letter of credit provided by the third-party purchaser. The cash outflow for the remaining lease termination costs was paid in Fiscal 2015.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. At February 3, 2018, the Company operated in one reportable segment. The Company exited its 77kids brand in 2012. These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of 77kids as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “Fiscal 2018” refers to the 52-week period ending February 2, 2019. “Fiscal 2017” refers to the 53-week period ended February 3, 2018. “Fiscal 2016” and “Fiscal 2015” refer to the 52-week periods ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, respectively.
Estimates	Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, our management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases Leases
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters Comprehensive Income
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the Company held no short-term investments. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding cash and cash equivalents and investments.
Merchandise Inventory	Merchandise Inventory Merchandise inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market, utilizing the retail method. Average cost includes merchandise design and sourcing costs and related expenses. The Company records merchandise receipts at the time which both title and risk of loss for the merchandise transfers to the Company. The Company reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally uses markdowns to clear merchandise. Additionally, the Company estimates a markdown reserve for future planned permanent markdowns related to current inventory. Markdowns may occur when inventory exceeds customer demand for reasons of style, seasonal adaptation, changes in customer preference, lack of consumer acceptance of fashion items, competition, or if it is determined that the inventory in stock will not sell at its currently ticketed price. Such markdowns may have a material adverse impact on earnings, depending on the extent and amount of inventory affected. The Company also estimates a shrinkage reserve for the period between the last physical count and the balance sheet date. The estimate for the shrinkage reserve, based on historical results, can be affected by changes in merchandise mix and changes in actual shrinkage trends.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded on the basis of cost with depreciation computed utilizing the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The useful lives of our major classes of assets are as follows: Buildings 25 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of 10 years or the term of the lease Fixtures and equipment 5 years Information technology 3-5 years As of February 3, 2018, the weighted average remaining useful life of our assets is approximately 8.1 years. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment During Fiscal 2016, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairment charges of $20.6 million that included $7.2 million for the impairment of all Company owned retail stores in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China. This amount is included within impairment and restructuring charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges were the result of business performance and exploring an initiative to convert these markets to licensed partnerships. Retail stores in these markets no longer are able to generate sufficient cash flow over the expected remaining lease term to recover the carrying value of the respective stores’ assets. Additionally, the Company recorded $10.8 million of impairment charges related to non-store corporate assets that support the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China Company owned retail store and e-commerce operations and $2.5 million of goodwill impairment for the China and Hong Kong retail operations. When the Company closes, remodels or relocates a store prior to the end of its lease term, the remaining net book value of the assets related to the store is recorded as a write-off of assets within depreciation and amortization expense. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding property and equipment and Note 15 for additional information regarding impairment charges.
Goodwill	Goodwill The Company’s goodwill is primarily related to the acquisition of its importing operations, Canadian, Hong Kong and China businesses and the acquisition of Tailgate and Todd Snyder. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded on the basis of cost with amortization computed utilizing the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The Company’s intangible assets, which primarily include trademark assets, are amortized over 15 to 25 years. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350 when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Such an evaluation includes the estimation of undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by those assets. If the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amounts of the assets, then the assets are impaired and are adjusted to their estimated fair value. No intangible asset impairment charges were recorded for all periods presented. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding intangible assets.
Deferred Lease Credits	Deferred Lease Credits Deferred lease credits represent the unamortized portion of construction allowances received from landlords related to the Company’s retail stores. Construction allowances are generally comprised of cash amounts received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records a receivable and a deferred lease credit liability at the lease commencement date (date of initial possession of the store). The deferred lease credit is amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the original lease (including the pre-opening build-out period). The receivable is reduced as amounts are received from the landlord.
Self-Insurance Liability	Self-Insurance Liability The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms for certain losses related to employee medical benefits and worker’s compensation. Costs for self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based on known claims and historical experience. Management believes that it has adequately reserved for its self-insurance liability, which is capped through the use of stop loss contracts with insurance companies. However, any significant variation of future claims from historical trends could cause actual results to differ from the accrued liability.
Co-branded Credit Card	Co-branded Credit Card The Company offers a co-branded credit card (the “AEO Visa Card”) and a private label credit card (the “AEO Credit Card”) under the AEO and Aerie brands. These credit cards are issued by a third-party bank (the “Bank”) in accordance with a credit card agreement (“the Agreement”). The Company has no liability to the Bank for bad debt expense, provided that purchases are made in accordance with the Bank’s procedures. We receive funding from the Bank based on the Agreement and card activity, which includes payments for new account activations and usage of the credit cards. We recognize revenue for this funding when the amounts are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. This revenue is recorded in other revenue, which is a component of total net revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Retained Earnings. Once a customer is approved to receive the AEO Visa Card or the AEO Credit Card and the card is activated, the customer is eligible to participate in the customer loyalty program offered by the Company.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company calculates income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company evaluates its income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. Under ASC 740, a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The calculation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as the decision to recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain position and to establish a valuation allowance require management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, although actual results may have a positive or negative material impact on the balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities, valuation allowances or net income. The Company has included the estimated impact of the recently enacted U.S. Tax Act in our financial results for the period ended February 3, 2018. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued interpretive guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Our future results could include additional adjustments, and those adjustments could be material. Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information .
