Well, the The Two Towers book Gollum describes Sauron as 'missing one finger' so he must have developed some sort of body after losing the one ring.

Before the fall of Numenor he was able to take fair shapes as written above, so we know from Silmarillion he was a shape shifter who was able to take any shape. He shifts shape and becomes a werewolf, then a serpent when fighting with Huan in Silmarillion.

Well, I remember a quote stating that he had no body of mortal flesh, but something black and terrible (after the fall of Numenor)

He might as well be using a guise, like an armor, or something like the cloaks of Nazgul.
