Just wanted to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. The rules for magical item slots no longer exist. Now I can invest any 10 worn magical items I want?
So, for example, I could wear 10 magical rings and have them all function?
If that's the case, aside from GM directive, what is stopping someone from doing something silly, like wearing 10 magical hats?

As I understand it, the only thing keeping you from wearing a tower of magic hats is the GM. It's conceivable that one group of players would find this mental image very amusing, while another might want to limit the hat tower to like 3 for reasons of verisimilitude.
Like there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to wear 10 belts.

From p. 535 under section heading Heald or Worn:
"An item that needs to be worn to function lists “worn” as its usage. This is followed by another word if the character is limited to only one of that type of item. For instance, a character can wear any number of rings, so the entry for a ring would list only “worn.” However, if the Usage entry were “worn cloak,” then a character couldn’t wear another cloak on top of that one."

Are you sure 353 is the right page number? I see that as smack dab in the middle of the spells chapter (with moon frenzy and moment of renewal).
EDIT: Oh, it's 535. I don't know why the rules seem to assume you can't wear two cloaks- I can wear two cloaks.

Yah I dislexified it. It's 535 I edited my post above. Sorry.

Then, based off of the final fantasy character designs I've seen, I assume I can have 10 belts. And a lot of zippers (nonmagical and ultimately purposeless).

Looks like belts have a "belt" slot.
These are all the "slots" I've been able to find so far.
- anklets
- armbands
- backpack
- barding (for companion creatures)
- belt
- bracelet (note that slotless bracelets also appear to exist)
- bracers
- circlet
- cloak
- collar (usually, but not always for companion creatures)
- eyepiece
- garment
- gloves
- headwear
- horseshoes (for companion creatures)
- mask
- shoes
Rings, necklaces, amulets, broaches, and other small pieces of jewelry tend to be slotless it would seem.
But what about PANTS!?

Pants are part of armor obviously. If you are an alchemist with a thing for unstable mutagens I recommend purple pants.

Does this mean we could change item slots without having to pay ye olde 1.5x tax, and that spiffy robe could be worn as a magnificent cape?

Hoooray. A bit of common sense made it into the rules. Although if you want 10 belts ask your GM if they are willing to allow it.

I highly recommend both products.

Unless your GM says otherwise. Personally I think 10 belts are silly. But during the playtest and since I’ve seen people argue that it makes perfect sense to wear 10 belts. If their GM agrees then they have the ability to override the rules.

That is literally possible for anything—the GM can always make any house rule they want. Since this is the rules forum, it’s worth being clear that the rules do not allow ten belts. Or even two.
Sorry if suggesting someone (like PossibleCabbage) could wear 10 belts with a GM’s permission offended you.

This came up during the playtest and there was an overwhelming majority that wanted to keep Pathfinder the Pantsless Roleplaying System.

There is nothing in the rules that keeps items locked into the listed forms. So a cloak of X could easily be an earring of X.

Well, we'll just have to do something about that.
