- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoIntricate geometric design
This is one of the few times that I adored a print but felt that it wasn’t well suited on me when I tried it on. I ended up exchanging it for a pattern that I loved to wear as well as look at.
If it wasn’t for the pattern placement I love everything about this print - the color palette, the geometric design, and all the little details that give it a lot of texture and visual interest. I tend to love the busier Zuri prints overall.
This short sleeved shirt style is very boxy and slightly cropped. I can pull off a M just fine and sizing down minimizes the bat wing effect of the sleeves since the cut is a drop shoulder style where the seam hits across the upper arm. I tried on a L and it’s my preferred size in the Zuri shirts - gives more room in the tummy area and a little more length in the hips.
- CSCristina S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoGambit is a great move!
Gambit is a very intriguing print both from afar and up close. It’s a sophisticated colorway that can carry you from summer into fall easily. The fabric is on the stiffer side, which I prefer, but is also smooth, making it comfortable and easy to wear. Love it!
- MSMaria S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoNot instant love but…..
…..oh boy this one is great! When I first saw it, it did not tempt me at all but when I started looking closer at the pattern and the colours, it’s absolutely amazing! I just love the short sleeved shirts as a top on its own or a cover up over a tank top or T-shirt. Grab this one if your size is still available!

Gambit is an absolute standout! The bold, geometric pattern is striking and beautifully balanced with rich colors—gold, black, purple, and teal—that make it feel both vibrant and versatile.

I love this shirt and so do others. I wore it as a jacket to the theatre in Stratford, Ontario and several strangers commented on how much they liked it. Thanks for making such wonderful things!
