The most lightweight fabrics to make shirts, since we are proceeding inexorably towards the heat and summer, are definitely the cotton voile and linen gauze.
Obviously they are not the same fabric but both have the particularity of being extremely inconsistent and delicate to the touch.
The name of voile comes from the French and is veiled, it is very transparent and is worked with canvas weave, it is twisted with strong twist so that it does not ruffle, it is extremely valuable and expensive, it is also quite rare to find it.

The pure linen gauze is stronger than the voile but is equally light and solid, to obtain this pure quality fabric, the "giro" orid threads are worked so that they move to the right and left creating a knitted structure that is extremely breathable.

The choice between these two excellent fabrics becomes almost obligatory if you want to stay fresh and at ease facing the summer heat with extreme ease.
