Modern blouse designs for silk saree
Keep the silk and the zari, change the cut. A contrast-colour blouse (a maroon blouse with a green Kanjivaram, for example), a square or sweetheart front, or a dori back instead of a closed back all read as modern without fighting the saree. For the sleeve (the "hand"), elbow length with a zari band is the traditional choice; puff and sheer sleeves are the modern ones. See blouse sleeve designs and silk blouse designs.

How do I choose a blouse design for my saree?
Balance the two: a heavy saree takes a simple blouse, and a plain saree takes an embroidered or designer blouse. Then pick the neck and sleeve for the occasion from the table above.
Which blouse design suits a heavy silk saree?
A round or boat neck front with a zari border, a pot neck (with dori) or classic U back, and elbow-length sleeves with a zari band, so the blouse does not compete with the weave.
What is a modern blouse design for a silk saree?
Keep the silk and zari but change the cut: a contrast-colour blouse, a square or sweetheart front, or a dori back in place of a closed back.
Which blouse design suits a plain chiffon or georgette saree?
An embroidered statement blouse: a V or sweetheart neck in velvet or net with zari, mirror or pearl work, and a dori or net back.
