Styling of an input type file field does not properly work

I added a custom styling to a input field by putting it in a label tag.

However it doesn't work as expected. I want it to have a width of 100px and a height of 25px. In addition I want the text to be centered.

HTML:

.fileContainer {
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}

.fileContainer [type=file] {
  cursor: inherit;
  display: block;
  font-size: 999px;
  filter: alpha(opacity=0);
  min-height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  text-align: right;
  top: 0;
}

.fileContainer {
  height: 25px;
  width: 100px;
  border: 1px solid #6C7A89;
  border-radius: 20px;
  background-color: transparent;
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #6C7A89;
}

.fileContainer [type=file] {
  cursor: pointer;
}
<label class="fileContainer">
Select file
<input name="filetoupload" type="file">
</label>

Fiddle

Try This:

.fileContainer {
  display: inline-block;<---------Added[Need for set width and height]
  line-height: 25px;<------------Added[Center in the vertical axis]
  text-align: center;<------------Added[Center in the horizontal axis]
  //more code...
}


.fileContainer {
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}

.fileContainer [type=file] {
  cursor: inherit;
  display: block;
  font-size: 999px;
  filter: alpha(opacity=0);
  min-height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  text-align: right;
  top: 0;
}

.fileContainer {
  height: 25px;
  line-height: 25px;
  width: 100px;
  border: 1px solid #6C7A89;
  border-radius: 20px;
  background-color: transparent;
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #6C7A89;
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: center;
}

.fileContainer [type=file] {
  cursor: pointer;
}
<label class="fileContainer">
    Select file
    <input name="filetoupload" type="file">
</label>

It is not happening anything regards to width and height because by default label is an inline element level.

You can add this display: flex; to the .filecontainer to make a block-level element.

and this to center the text inside it :

justify-content: center;
align-items: center;

snippet

.fileContainer {
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}

.fileContainer [type=file] {
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.fileContainer {
  height: 25px;
  width: 100px;
  border: 1px solid #6C7A89;
  border-radius: 20px;
  background-color: transparent;
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #6C7A89;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}
<label class="fileContainer">
Select file
<input name="filetoupload" type="file">
</label>

Try This:

.fileContainer {
    position: relative;
}
.fileContainer input {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 2;
    opacity: 0;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
}

.fileContainer {
    border: 1px solid #6C7A89;
    border-radius: 20px;
    padding: 2px 15px;
    margin: 2px;
    background: transparent;
    display: inline-block;
}
<div class="fileContainer">
    <input name="filetoupload" type="file"/>
    <span>Select file</span>
</div>
