Your user must be a system administrator or a system customizer. After that open the standard solution and open the entity Contact. See fields level and click on new. Then customize your field (type, dimension, default value and so on). Save and publish the solution

you must have the "System customizer" and/or "System Administrator" role, If you do you can Click on the "Form Editor" when you have a contact open, you will be able to add new fields from their or you can edit the default solution navigate to the entities, then contact and under fields add one[You will still need to add it to the form for users to see it)
