Gandalf says, “the black robes are real robes that they wear to give shape to their nothingness when they have dealings with the living.”
This to me strongly implies that without those robes the Nazgûl are unformed and shapeless, and insubstantial. The word
nothingness indicates their insubstantialbility. See
wraith for dictionary meanings, many of which suggest insubstantialbility.
