The aesthetic standards of input date will depend on the browsers that support it. If you want a cross-browser and customizable option, you'll have to use a plugin, or something. Here's an example with Jquery datePicker :

$(function() {
  $("#datepicker").datepicker({
    showOn: "button",
    buttonText: "Select date"
  });
});
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script><scriptsrc="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<input type="text" id="datepicker">

You can style this dataPicker with the Jquery-ui.css classes, for example:

$(function() {
  $("#datepicker").datepicker({
    showOn: "button",
    buttonImageOnly: true,
    buttonText: "Select date"
  });
});
.ui-datepicker {
	background-color: #666;
	border: 1px solid #66AFE9;
	border-radius: 4px;
	box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(102,175,233,.6);
	display: none;
	margin-top: 4px;
	padding: 10px;
	width: 240px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
.ui-datepicker a{
  color: #f1f2f3  
}
.ui-datepicker a,
.ui-datepicker a:hover {
	text-decoration: none;
}
.ui-datepicker a:hover,
.ui-datepicker td:hover a {
	color: #2A6496;
	-webkit-transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out;
	   -moz-transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out;
	     -o-transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out;
	        transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out;
}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-header {
    margin: 0;
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	text-align: center;
    background: #f1f2f3
}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-title {

	margin-top: 2px;
	width: 30px;
}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev {
	float: left;
	text-align: left;
}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-next {
	float: right;
	text-align: right;
}
.ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-prev:before {
