Are you at home, but use communal bathroom facilities? If so putting on clothes is a good thing. Since weight is factored into the BIA equation, yes clothes affect the %.

ETA: and since you don't know if the device treats the clothes as fat or lean, it may not be to your advantage. I just did a quick experiment with my scale: one set of clothes was treated as fat, another as lean, and 6 lbs of books as fat.
