Any melee hit or constrict attack deals acid damage, and the opponent’s armor and clothing dissolve and become useless immediately unless they succeed on DC 21 Reflex saves. What item slots are affected by this? If a character is attacked by a black pudding, and has on some magic armor and some Boots of Elvenkind and a Cloak of Resistance, and a Ring of Protection, which items must make saves? Just the armor (or anything else taking up the "body" slot)? Or everything that is worn?

In other words, yes, a conservative interpretation of "clothing" seems to be "item that fills the body slot" (robes, shirts, etc.) I would go with this mainly because interpreting it to mean "all things that are worn" seems really excessively cruel.
