Please say which of these glasses you think looks best. These are for a conservative work environment. A couple look pretty similar, I admit.

(1) Burberry 1

(1) and (2) look really similar. It took me awhile to realize that the lens on the Baker's are a bit wider.

I like the Burberry 1 and the Polo the best. Nice tie, btw.

Assuming you mean which glasses look best on you I would have to go with the Burberry of the Ted Baker, with the RLs coming in third. With the other two, and to a lesser extent the laurens the heavy dark frame is too strong for your face's colouring and kind of dominate it, making them rather than you the centre of attention, IMO.
I wear glasses and have the same problem, I went hunting for some dark framed ones like those recently but ended up getting a lighter coloured tortoiseshell because they didn't work with my colouring (which is not dissimilar to yours).

At first glance I thought they were 6 pics of the same glasses, till I saw the last ones. All of them are just splitting hairs...why not go for 6 different looks, then judge?

#1. I agree with the other poster that numbers 3,4,5 are maybe too dark . #2 is good but the Burberry1, at least to me, fits the width of your face better.

Absolutely the last one. Your face has different expression in them. Definitely look more studied and distinguished in Burr2. The rest of them especially top row are this minute trendy frames that make anyone look like they just graduated from college.

Actually, I just realised you were an Eagles fan (your avatar) so I changed my mind about your taste... at least in football teams

2 and 3 are out.

1 and 5 are the best, but different looks - maybe get 1 for work and 5 for fun?

4 is kind of a mix between 1 and 5, but not as good as either of them.

All IMO, of course.

#1 and #2 for conservative work environment.

However,

#5 has the most style, and makes your face look less long.

1 and 4 are my favourites, with 4 probably being the best.

(1 is what I would choose, but I have boring taste in glasses)

By the way, this is a great way to solve this perennial problem.

I hate picking out new frames, because my eyesight is bad enough that I have to go fairly close to the mirror to get the frames in sufficient focus. And then I can't see how they work on me from further away. Next time I change frames, I'm going to take a camera along, so I can then look at some mid-distance photos afterwards and decide.
