A lower body garment that includes an inflatable flotation device and a method of using the garment for flotation are provided. The flotation device is integrated with the garment and can be inflated in case of emergency in water. The garment is designed to be worn as a typical lower body garment when the flotation device is deflated and to convert into a life jacket that can be harnessed to a user's upper body and inflated to provide flotation. The garment includes straps that are designed to be used as both a garment belt when worn on the lower body and as harness straps when used for flotation.
