Choose New Game+ from the Main Menu
Selecting the New Game+ option will pull up tips about this feature, as well as what carries over and what doesn't carry over to your new journey. After reading and closing the tips, you can then select a cleared save file that you want to use for NG+.
Make sure that you choose the right save file as it will be where the loadout for your NG+ run will come from.
New Game Plus Overview
New Game Plus allows you to start from the beginning of the story with most of your character progress and inventory from your previous playthrough still intact. This allows you to do the quests over again in a faster pace or make challenges in higher difficulties a bit easier.

What Doesn't Carry Over to New Game Plus?

Additional New Game Plus Notes
Tutorial is disabled
Tips that pop up on screen whenever a new feature is unlocked will no longer appear in New Game Plus, but you can still view them from System > Tips. Tutorials that guides you step-by-step on unlocked features (like equipping Accessories and crafting Gems) will also be skipped.
Selecting Heroes is disabled until Mwamba leaves
Heroes who joined your party on your previous playthrough will carry over to New Game Plus, but you will need to progress through Chapter 1 first and get to the part where Mwamba leaves the party before you can add any of your Heroes.

Chain Attacks and Interlinking need to be unlocked again
Abilities like Chain Attacks and Interlinking need to be unlocked through story progression first (both are unlocked during Chapter 2) before you can use them in battle again. Unlocked Soul Tree nodes and SP will carry over and be available after unlocking Interlink.
Unique Monsters are revived
Unique Monsters that you have defeated will all be revived in New Game Plus and their graves will be cleared on the map, although Skills and Arts obtained through Soulhacking in your previous playthrough will be carried over and can be used even without defeating the associated Unique Monsters.
