Help with the game

[yipalex525]

Yo, this might seem like an incredibly stupid question, but how do I equip higher level gear (Bought from the town shops) onto party members? Do I just gift it to them when i'm in an area world? Soz guys i'm really new to this game (only about 7-ish hours in.) Any help would be appreciated! (Also trying to get more activity on the forum by posting here, lolz.)
